first, the email in the photo goes nowhere. its west-midlands.pnn.police.co.uk, not "uk" unless DNS in the UK does something we're not supposed to know about

Nope, police.uk is a real valid domain name that the UK police have been using for years. That isn't a sign this is a fake, although it may well be.
