Question
QUESTION: how to tell apart between spam and real person when someone adds me without note saying who it is?
ANSWER: Hello Dorina!
You have to check the FULL header information, this will tell you the real data. Every client and email service allows viewing the full header, but only few people read them and spammers know that and take advantage of this!
See how to read them here http://abuse.msu.edu/email-tracking.html
Hope this helps!
All the best!
Bye!
