There are several potential problems with predatory journals:
Ask your colleagues what they think of the journal
Are these people of interest in the field?
Double check that the listed editors mention their editorship
Where can you find it? What databases at least show the abstract?
If any databases carry it, they will say. Then doublecheck those databases that they do carry it.
