    Its easy to check.
    Do some due diligence using google.
    If the email address associate with many bad comment then it should be fraud.
    The other thing you can do is reply back the email and see whether is the email is answered in proper manner.

    Just ask them to pay first to confirm they are not scam, that's all

    Check the domain name entering into a web browser to know whether it open a site of legitimate business? Also Use Spamassassin for SPAM detection.
