Seven points that help you to know if this is a scam:
1. Normally the sender posses the free Email account
2. The sender claims to get your email from the internet
3. The sender gives the victim too many promises
4. No any prior relationship
5. No any request made by the victim on the issues before
6. Request of payments are made by the sender in whatsoever means at the end of the processes
7. Victims requested to make things confidential
