Someone told me to check the email address things come from. I get things like your Amazn account has expired. First the name is spelt wrong, second even if not spelt wrong the senders address makes no sense. The amazing thing is how many times I get the same notice, but from an ever changing email address, so they go to junk folder, but are not blocked entirely.
The email you see in the "From:" can be spoofed, and usually is. Many are purposely miss-spelled because people read things like Amazn as Amazon. But that's usually a good clue. And they are usually invalid email addresses.
I look at the header info. The last "from" listed is where the email actually originated.
Some are from servers in Europe, Guyana, China, Vietnam, Google, and other places. NEVER the IP address for the purported company.
