How to knw if the email i recieve is scam?
If you receive an e-mail from a supposed tin-pot dictator or known criminal from some Third World country asking for your help in securing his money in return for a share of that ill-gotten wealth. Others pretend to ask for your pity (because they are sick or lost) and give them money.





Phishing and bogus e-mails: E-mails supposedly from legit companies (banks, card companies, ebay etc.) asking/requiring/informing you of a problem/promo and you must do some sort of procedure which often involves clicking on their link provided on the e-mail. The said link asks for your username/password or card or social security number. Always be sure the link is correct and not a spoof name.
Reply:Knowing the email would help...


Or the sender, or something.





Sometimes it's pretty obvious, when you get an email when someone from, oh say, Japan said that if you give him $250,000, then he'll be able to fly to America, start his business, and you will be the co-owner that will make a lot of money... yeah, it's pretty fake.





What kind of email are you talking about?
