Default how do you indentify a hotcam?

Hey Guys I need help really bad I got this so call hotcam but I'm not sure if it is or not. The numbers/lettering I found are "241.CPC.BC PC.BC.1" Then at the back of the cam the number "8" is found and on one of the journals there is a letter "F". I hope I explain it correctly, in any case any and all help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance,

Thanks guys, all good help, my cam that suppose to be a hotcam has none of that, which tells me its an aftermarket clone hotcam, if thats what it is. In any case I really appreciate the help. Thanks.
