I received an email from Desk-017c@larsentoubro.com claiming that I have got an interview for Assistance Manager (exact words were - Result of your application for the position of assistant manager . I would like to invite you to attend an interview.). and it came with a PDF file attached.
I know that it was fake because it asked me to submit money before the interview.
The email header is shown below. How can I tell from this header where the email really came from and whether it is spam?

I know it is spam, but I want to understand what part of the header signifies that it is spam.

@GaneshR. - Put this as an answer so you get reputation for it and the poster can mark it as an answer. – kazoni – 2015-06-24T17:39:03.453
1Hi Rahul Sinha. I removed the link to the PDF attachment because we do not know whether it is malicious, and having the link potentially puts unsuspecting users of our site at risk. While it's good that you included what you felt was all relevant information, I see no need for the attachment to be included to answer your question. – a CVn – 2015-06-24T18:22:25.633
I also realized that it is not relevant to question. thanks. – Rahul Sinha – 2015-06-24T18:25:17.567
