I got a message saying I needed to sign up and completed a course I'd never heard of so I marked it as spam and deleted it.

Turned out it was genuine...

Last week I came in to work with an email that I received a $100 gift card. I immediately reported it as phishing and went about my day. A few hours later my manager asked if I received an email about said gift card and I told him I reported it. Turns out it was legit and was for good performance. Whoops

I always double check the email address that is sending removing whatever filter my email client is using to replace the address with a name "for convenience sake". That will usually tell me if it's a legit email or some kind of spam/phishing. And if it is a legit addy and it still seems too suspicious I will generally contact the person who sent it to top them off that their address may have been compromised. Generally speaking this tends to cover all of my bases.
