A real scam people fell for this year, next to the real thing. The numbers mark the three things to check: hover or tap one to see what it tells you.

Dear Sir or Madam, the attached letter is sent to you on the instruction of the Director, Mrs Eleanor Whitcombe. An official procedure has been opened in your name.
For more information, write to her office at eleanor.whitcombe.moj@hotmail.com.
This notice requires a mandatory and detailed reply within 72 hours.
Always check the reply address.
An "official procedure" against you, and the only way to answer is a free Hotmail account. Courts and ministries never run cases from Hotmail: whoever replies there gets asked for a "fine" or their ID.
noreply@justice.gov.uk is the courts' own address, and it points you to gov.uk.
notices@moj-procedures.co.uk isn't the government, and it sends you to eleanor.whitcombe.moj@hotmail.com.
Sign in to your own claim at gov.uk.
Write to a Hotmail address about a "procedure" you know nothing about.
No deadline in the email.
"Mandatory and detailed reply within 72 hours".
RememberA court or ministry that wants you to reply to a Gmail or Hotmail address is a fake. Look up the real office yourself.
