Richy2k0 Posted July 24, 2007 Share Posted July 24, 2007 I work at a computer store and surf the internet all day... of course I can tell fake sites.... duh! Take the phishing quiz here!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mercifull Posted July 24, 2007 Share Posted July 24, 2007 10/10. Its good to see and useful for most people but some of the more well versed phishers use much better tricks to scam you than shown in that example. Most of the reasons they give for "proving" that a web page is a fake is bad spelling which isn't a very good identifier, its not like criminals find it impossible to spell correctly.

Kashi Posted July 24, 2007 Share Posted July 24, 2007 8 / 10. Pretty good considering that most of them were sites for banks and etc., and I don't even own a credit card or a PayPal account. :o My greatest ambition is to kill every member of the human race.However I am a realist and therefore know that I probably wont be able to.

zeekyhbomb Posted July 24, 2007 Share Posted July 24, 2007 YOU ANSWERED 9 OF 10 QUESTIONS CORRECTLY Rating: Safety Guru Nice work! Your practically clairvoyant knowledge of the Web allows you to spot even the most realistic looking spoofed sites. We're impressed! But remember that even one misstep on a deceptive Web site can put your personal information at risk which could lead to identity theft or financial losses. Don't let scammers fool you! SiteAdvisor can help protect your identity by warning you before you visit a risky site. Missed the Chase one, just didn't read it carefully I guess, haha. Asking for a SSN required, with no other options, looked fishy to me though I guess it isn't. The only site of these that I regularly visit is Myspace, though, that isn't an excuse haha. Everyone should be able to tell, for the most part, if a site is fake, whether they visit the site regularly or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How2PK Posted July 24, 2007 Share Posted July 24, 2007 Not bad. You avoided some deceptive Web sites that would have put your personal information at risk.

SiteAdvisor can help protect your identity by warning you before you visit a risky site. 7 out of 10 correct. I started randomly ticking boxes at question 7 because I didn't feel like looking at everything seperately and I hadn't got a clue on the last two. :P Question 7, 9 and 10 wrong.

Sir_Alex85 Posted July 24, 2007 Share Posted July 24, 2007 8/10... But to be fair, I did guess all of them but the last two, which I knew.

tomdavies90 Posted July 24, 2007 Share Posted July 24, 2007 9/10, I actually didn't check for grammatical errors I just went with the ones that looked most genuine, the hardest was the Chase one seen as I wasn't looking at gramatical errors the one I chose was wrong but it did look pretty good the rest were dodgy.

forsaken Posted July 24, 2007 Share Posted July 24, 2007 8/10 I gave most of them fleeting glances and one of the ones I missed had a 'wrong logo' as one of the main justifications for how to tell it apart. As I don't live in America, I'm unaware of their companies and thus the logo holds no relevance to me. :P I contend that we are both atheists. I just believe in one fewer god than you do.
