I would definitely say so - general rule is if it sounds too good to be true it probably is. Mostly file these, Nigeria scams, bank / PayPal / etc. sort of mails straight in the bin - never click a link in an email no matter how official it looks...visit the real website & login there instead.
Another handy trick is if you hover your mouse over a link in an email, and the address it links to (sometimes shows in a bubble nearby, or a status bar at the bottom of the page...all depends how you access your mail) looks nothing like you'd expect (often gobbledegook instead of ending bt.com, paypal.com, etc. depending on who it purports to be from) then it too gets binned.
Lately I've been receiving a plethora of emails with attachments coming from very random addresses - often the attachment is called invoice.pdf, bill.pdf, refund.pdf, etc. and that's more for the bin. In an average day I probably receive 200+ emails and 90-95% are junked automatically or deleted manually, never having been opened
