Simply let your mouse roll over the addressee and you will typically see some Gmail or other non-BestBuy-associated address.

Then id the address as spam and then delete.

Some of the Paypal ones are harder to recognize coming from somewhere other than Paypal, but if they do not use your actual name then they are fake. Forward them to spoof@paypal.com or phishing@paypal.com
