If i see an email from my 76 year old father, that says, ‘OMG – check the lulz’ I am going to be suspicious. My father would never say that, type that, or understand the meaning behind any of it (not to say he’s not a smart man, he just doesn’t talk like that). Additionally, if you get an email that looks like it was sent to you from yourself (it happens, I swear), that’s a bad sign.
