Been there, failed that. [blink]

Apparently some of those examples are real sites. I just nailed them all as fake, and figured "My money is still in my pocket, and my privacy is still intact."

Guess I'm not smart enough to separate the phishermen from the other privacy invaders, huh? [lol]

I got the first one wrong but got the rest. I don't trust any e-mail like the ones shown though.

w00t! 100% first try. My g/f is mystified, as she uses the Oddysey method of "it's all fraud" when going over her email.

Most of them were obvious with the hover-over-and-check-actual-link method. Overall, I thought it was too easy. I see much more clever phishing schemes on a daily basis. Fun link, though. Thanks.

I'll try being nicer when you try being smarter.

Agreed, it is a fun link, and a good teaching tool, too. Anybody got any more of these? I need to learn how to discriminate correctly between a phony data thief and a real one! B)
