Dodgy Email Test

Hi Everyone
There's been a lot of messages about phishing scams in the auction and ebay room.
I came across this site recently, it shows you 10 different emails and you have to decide are they scams or not. They are all genuine emails, in fact some of you might recognise some of them.
This is well worth checking out. Even if you think you are savvy enough to spot a fake, it's worth it. I thought I was pretty switched on about these kind of scams, and I didn't spot all of them.

That was very informative, well worth a couple of minutes doing the test. I got 6 out of 10........The information on how to spot a fraudulent email was very good too. Thanks

Got 8/10 and only fell down on two legit ones. But having said that, they still advise caution with the legit ones!I'm so sexy it's a wonder my underpants don't explode.0
