Think you can outsmart Internet scammers

Not bad considering the three I got wrong were legit that I answered Phish.

 

Very easy.

I got a perfect result:

 

it's easy to WS member

 

Woohoo, 14 of 14. I can see where someone that didn't know what they were looking for would be easily fooled. I think about something like Tineye image search and how it finds copies of the same image on other sites and wonder how hard it would be to have a service that would look for webpages that are fakes that look like legitimate sites so they could be taken off line. Maybe there already tools like that I am unaware of.

 

Looks like I have some work to do.

 

I got one wrong that was legit.I guess I gave a False positive.

 

12/14, flagging two as phish that were legit

 

Yahoo! 14/14

Thank you Wilders, OpenDNS, and the complexities of proper English!

 

Wow, HSBC is actually real!

 

13/14...I got Ebay wrong Doesn't help that I haven't been to or used the website since 2002, lol.

 

You're a phish-spotting ninja! You correctly identified 14 out of 14 sites in the OpenDNS phishing quiz.

Easy when you know how

 

14/14. pretty easy, especially if you understand e-commerce security guidelines.
but i can see how users may get a few wrong, and would be hopeful that no one got the very obvious ones wrong!

 

I got 9/14. I didn't get the Phish sites wrong, but called 5 genuine sites as phish.

I rather be wrong and call them Phish, than be caught out, and be a [Ph]fish out of water.

 

14/14 I'm good

 

14/14 here too. In the vast majority (maybe all) of the phishing ones, close examination of the URL address was usually the tip-off.

 

Probably was the hardest one. Of course we are making it easier for everyone else by talking about it.

 

I got it in my mail, and I scored 14/14 as well. It gives a good feeling

But I bet that some family members won't get 14/14 though, actually I am 100% sure

 

13/14 i was fooled @ HSBC

 

Well now.....that is eighteen more Emails added to the Phishing list!

Good Job
