Or even just contacting them separately.
I did consider that it might have been a scam before letting it through, but a quick check showed that there is a URL with that name.
Justice.gov.uk

The salient part is "if" - how to be sure that it is a real gov dept. Although a cursory google does show that justice.gov.uk is a valid domain name for that dept of the government.
If the email address is @department.gov.uk it will be safe and that justice address looks 100% correct for the distribution of proceedings of crime from a case in West Yorkshire.Leave a comment:

I was contacted last week by the HMRC confiscation unit to advise that that was a chunk of money waiting for me.
The chap I spoke to advised that there was money allocated to a number of victims available, but as some of the victims had closed their companies/changed their addresses he was struggling to find them to return the monies.
If anyone here is affected email [email protected]. Reference 'Darren Upton' Case.Leave a comment:
