Can YOU spot the "phishing" emails?

[jennyl772003]

This is a 10 question quiz to see how good you are at recognizing phishing emails. I got an 80% Pretty interesting to see how realistic some of the scam emails were.

Nailed 'em all! To be honest I would have been gutted if I hadn't; part of my job is reviewing this type of stuff hehe. I agree though, it's easy to see how a lot of these could pass for legitimate...

I only got 7/10 - but I'm too cautious - I thought 2 legot e-mails were frauds! There was only one scam that fooled me!

I got the same score for the same reasons. I'm just happy the ones I thought were legit were. Better safe than sorry.

I only got 60% correct but, as I get so many scam emails for PayPal and eBay, I tend to err on the side of caution. I don't log into any account from any email I receive. If there are changes required, I go directly to to the site and log into my account from there.

"You got 10 out of 10 correct, or 100 %"

That was FUN!

I got an 80%...the two wrong were legitimate ones I thought were frauds....so I'm pleased I erred on the side of caution

I got 80% too but I said 2 were fraud that were legitimate. So that makes me feel okay since I was wary about all of them.
I normally dont use any link in an email, I always just go the site and log in my acct that way.

I have an account with Chase, but I have never corresponded with them via e-mail, so would consider any message from them phising. I don't have an account or deal with any of the others, so I would have deleted them all.

60% - ugh.

But 3 of the 4 I missed were legit I thought were fraud. I'm ok with that, I'd rather err on the side of caution.

And I never do ANYTHING on the internet that is financially related that I do not instigate myself, so I consider myself (relatively) secure.
