Hi,

I’m not too sure to be honest. Yes these emails do come for core testing but not via the website contact us page and it generally accompanies an official letter. 

I agree a call to the LAA would be the best option perhaps via another number other than the mobile number provided. And the email address has got me thinking what snc would stand for?

 This doesn’t appear to be anything dubious, LAA often send out these emails.
Perhaps simply call the LAA and establish its authenticity to be on the safe side- you have a name and a number ( although I’d use directory numbers ).

I received the below message via my website contact page.

While I did not click on any link, I did email Rebecca Hallatt at justice dot gov dot U.K. 

In hindsight, it seems unlikely that the LAA would be contacting me via my site.

Has this happened to anyone else?
