If you suspect a fraudulent attempt to contact you, please review the following:
1. The Justice Department and the Navy will never request money or payment from you.
2. If an attorney is representing you, direct all inquiries to your attorney for verification. The Justice Department and Navy will not contact you directly and will only contact you through your attorney.
3. Authorized emails from the Navy will be sent from the us.navy.mil domain, and you may forward any email message you receive to that address to verify authenticity.
4. If you receive a phone call claiming to be from the CLCU or offering assistance with your claim, and you are uncertain, ask for the person’s name and position, then call the CLCU at (757) 241-6020 or email us at CLClaims@us.navy.mil to verify.
