The title of this might be a misleading, however they are also a good giveaway relating to what is a phishing or scam site or e-mail. This is another example of checking everything out, and then making a decision. (Don't forget my golden rule, open up a new browser and double check everything)
For example:
The word WHICH, is the most common spelling mistake, in something that is bogus it will be spelled WICH, WITCH (in the wrong context)WHITCH
The reason this doesn't always jump out at us is because the first and last letter are correct. If you pay a little bit of attention to this, it will become more obvious.
Another one that I have seen (on very flashy websites and e-mails too) is the word PROBABLY. It has been PROBLY, PROBABBLY and spellings like that.
It's just another area in which you can take a common sense approach to stop the online scams.
