4/10. I have never been to more then half of those websites, and stupidly enough I didn't even notice some of the easy mistakes. I learned quite a bit of things as well for this, it helps me alot.

 

 

 

Well you can guess what I'm downloading right now. :oops:

Most of them I've never been too cause I've never needed to use them.

7/10. Didn't know we were supposed to read every single word on the page to see if it was grammatically correct or not.

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.

Not bad. You avoided some deceptive Web sites that would have put your personal information at risk. But you chose others that pose serious security threats that could lead to identity theft or financial losses.

Well, I'm only 14 so I've got a lot of time to find out what bank sites look like, and I've never used myspace, In fact the only one I have used is Amazon

8/10 I couldn't see the myspace url that clearly and I had no idea about what scam was real.

Pretty good considering I didn't look that closely at all of them. I pretty much just went on instinct.

Well I suck :lol: You don't need to know my score :shame: :-w

The only people who tell you that you can't do something are those who have already given up on their own dreams so feel the need to discourage yours.

9/10 I didn't think that grammar would be a definite give-away with scam sites. I mean, if they could replicate the sites that good, they should at least know some English.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Also, why is age of importance, I'm only thirteen, but have a basic enough understanding of what a corporate bank site should look like. (the "We need your social and account number to retrieve your password was kind of a give :? )

7/10

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Considering I've never been to a bank site, and dont have any credit cards. I dont even have accounts for anything that isn't runescape related (except for myspace).

5/10 i had no clue on the bank ones :wall:

8/10, i didn't know about the chase one and the one that was after/before(i don't remember) it.

Not bad.

Although on the last two I guessed. Maybe I got those two questions wrong. :-k

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Edit: I got 4 and 5 wrong. I should have known by those grammar mistakes.

I only missed the Amazon.com one as I have never actually visited the site and have no need to.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The other one I missed was the final question which asked about some e-mail scams which only one I have heard of.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Overall I just have both my anti-spyware/adware and my antivirus programs working in tantum with each other so as to avoid as many of those nasty little e-mails as possible. Of course Aol does a pretty good job already putting them into the correct category.

-I didnt click any of the thumbnails so didnt notice the spelling & grammar

 

 

 

-Also some of the sites I don't even use or have no affliation with me such as

 

 

 

Capital One, AOl, Bank of America and Chase
