Hover your cursor over any links, logos whathaveyou on emails etc., and you can see the addresses.
It's usually obvious which are dodgy!
I just delete any financial emails as a matter of course.
 
obvious one is hello member. genuine paypal emails always address you as the name you have registered with them,
 
Hi,
Had a similar one supposedly from the Bank I use a couple of weeks back. Rang the Bank manager and he gave me their e-mail ( their scam e-mail address ) address to forward the e-mail on to. Once they start asking for details and asking you to verify your account details, you know it's dodgy.

Regards.

i wasn't thinking of sending you a pm anyway. so ner ner. :willy_nilly:
