Internet scam is very popular these days. Few months ago, I receive email from unkown individual which later on ask about my personal info. How do we know that an email is legitimate or not to avoid being on scam?

there are lots of websites which claim that they will pay you ..but how many of them are real ?? I reckon most of them are scams. What they do may like what you say, try to send u scaming email for personal detail, or password...etc..I had just read someone said they got an email saying that they had won the lottery of 3 million and asked them to verify ..... The problem is you dod not know whether it is a scam unless you try it,..

Maybe the best thing to do is what you have said "try it." But I think, it takes time to discover it is a scam. Is there any possible sign that a certain email is a scam or not? Thanks

If it involves you giving anything. phone #, email address, credit card info, money.......then you can be pretty sure it is a scam. If it is legitimate, you should not have to give anything.
