The easiest way to avoid scams that appear to come from companies you actually deal with is to never click on any link or enter a URL contained in the message, but go to the website yourself to login. Often scam messages have links shown in the text that are different than what they actually lead to (i.e. you see it as http://www.heco.com, but actually goes to www.spambot.ru), or have addresses that are similar to the real ones (like www.helco-hawaii.com).
