email scam is an unsolicited email that claims the prospect of a bargain or something for nothing.
A fake email represents the bait in a phishing scam. Potential victims are lured into the scam with an email that threatens a breach in security or some kind of reward for replying to the email and providing personal information.
Nearly everyone who has email has gotten such an email.
Yes it is a big scam. Just a note: I received an email from a friend telling me to go to the website of Home Revenue System. But this email was a scam itself. My friend never sent me this link.

Say if you have the usual email. "My relative died and I want to give you money for no reason", that is the bait
Phishing
Yes they are.
When you mark an email as a phishing scam in Hotmail, it disappears because it gets forwarded to Microsoft for review.
I personally feel that it is not a scam. However when you receive such kinds of mails just be a little careful.
