      I got mail from Samsung UK that I have won some Crores.
      Since I have checked the Received Mail Id.
      The sender mail id came from outlook.
      They have asked my personal details for giving the fake money I have won in samsung
      How to verify these fake mail?

        If it says you've won something, it is fake. It's that easy.

          This helps too, but normally you would never get this far. Mark the email as spam / junk the instant that it says "you've won" and move on.

            So you had three concrete "no way this is real email" signs.

              What more do you need to know? You verified it four ways:

              • It was from Samsung that you did not contact.
              • It said "you won" which clearly means spam.
              • It was not from who it stated it was from.
              • It was asking for your information.
