Here are a few tips:
Always look at the sender e-mail address if it's visible, or hover over it to see the actual e-mail address. In the case of scammers, it's not usually from the typical Rogers accounts where you receive e-mails from, even though it might be ABC@rogers.com.
Never click on a link in a suspicious e-mail. Always go to the appropriate websites using your own bookmarks or ways. If you click on a link by mistake, if you examine the URL you may find it to be similar to a Rogers (or Yahoo) site, but it always contains one or more letters that shouldn't be there, usually near the front.
Often, but not always, scam e-mails will contain poor grammar, poor spelling, odd date or currency formats, etc. They typically do this on purpose to catch the unwary who are easier to scam. Anyone "smart" would notice these sorts of mistakes or anomalies.
Scammers often "threaten" people with things like "You will be blocked from sending and receiving emails if not confirmed within 24hrs of receiving this automated mail" or other threatening language. Most corporations would provide more notice.
If you're unsure, coming here is a good choice. These sorts of e-mails have been sent to many people on Rogers/Yahoo e-mail and are scams
