- a new medicine that will make your husband's penis bigger or help him keep an erection for hours, FRAUD!
- rolex at cheap prices, FRAUD!

You don't, however as others said if it seems too good then it is likely to be a scam not necessarily a fraud. Just be aware of just what it says if you open it. It some times is difficult to know for sure. When in doubt then just figure it is fraud until you know for sure.

my rule of thumb is, if i don't recognize who it is from i delete it without opening it, because chances are very good that it is a fraud..why take chances opening something out of curiousity and unleashing a virus in your pc??? Besides if something sounds too good to be true, it probably is...

Any email offering you money is fraud. Or if they promise to make your boobs stand up like a 18 year olds. :D

Any inducement to send money or receive vast sums of money is a fraud

If it is unsolicted and/or you do not know the sender. Basic rule: Delete unkown email without even opening and save yourself potential worlds of grief

I don't open any e-mails if I don't know the person sending them.

It usually sounds too good!!!!
Other clear signs are poor grammar and misspellings.
