Phishing

Thank you for this, very interesting.
I have just received a phish purporting to be from aol. Fortunately I was suspicious but just thought there was a !!!! up in their system (I'd never heard of PHISH till then). I'll be on my guard now.

90%, but luckily the one I got wrong I thought was a fraud but wasn't, so no safety probs.

hi - i got 70% i was very cautious and said real sites were fake - i take after my father who was suspicious of everything and everyone - i have found this to be sensible advice - although i was proved wrong today when a nice young gentleman carried a very heavy box from argos to the car park lifts for me(and i'm just a middleaged mum - not a pretty blonde!) i kept expecting him to run off with it! It proves there is hope for humanity afterall and maybe for an old cynic like me!

Hi all, I'm new to these boards.

I got 80% but I erred on the side of caution. I don't do on-line banking or order anything from the internet unless I can send a cheque rather than give out account details on-line. They were all frighteningly real looking though, so I can see how people would be caught out.

Anyway I can't actually go to any links direct from an e-mail - I have to add links to my "favourites" and check them later. Is this normal or am I doing something wrong?

Just completed the quiz. I got 80% which is okish. But unless I go to a website I don't give anyone my details. I usually use my hubbies card as it's got internet fraud protection !
