Red -Flag from an email

[hockeybrain]

I remember discussion from some board some time ago about men being able to tell a girl writing them was a scammer, or there was a high probablility she was a scammer just from the email address.  I think a girl addressed ___@hotbox.ru was one of them.  Am I mistaken?  If so could someone list the suspect email addresses, or set me straight on this?  Thanks.

hotbox.ru is a domain providing free webmail service, one of many. The username, the three underscores, while not your usual type of a username one would pick, doesn't suggest she's a scammer either. I don't know about the girl, but the e-mail address doesn't seem to contain any obvious red flags to me.
