I think the most basic solution, whether you spot signs within the email or not, is to contact the "sender" through some other channel. At the very least, send a query using *your* address book's entry, not by clicking "reply" on the email you've gotten, or by phoning if you have the person's number. Same goes with emails notifying you of a security breach in your credit card account - contact the CC company using the phone number on the card, not the one in the email. If the notice is legit, they can tell you.
