by looking at who sent it and hovering over the button to see where the link
goes. if the email doesn't end with exactly "@bricklink.com" then
its not from bricklink and if the link goes to anywhere that isn't"bricklink.com"
then its likely not real (baring rare interview like emails)

In truth even when I know its from Bricklink such as a Pay my fee reminder I
always try to avoid following links within emails as people can do clever things
with making a recipient address look legitimate besides which, if you routinely
follow links via emails you only increase your chances of being exposed to any
risks
Where possible I prefer to Login from scratch to Bricklink(or any Other site)
and seek out whatever it is they are asking me to do from there, be that paying
my fee etc..
