Phishing IQ test

From Your Money (Times/Sunday Times):

A survey conducted by Mailfrontier has uncovered worrying evidence that consumers are easily duped by fake e-mails. It suggests that 92 per cent of people are unable to distinguish between real bank e-mails and fake "phishing" e-mails, which encourage customers to log on to a fake website and reveal their bank account details. Phishing e-mails are becoming increasingly sophisticated with organised criminal gangs using expert computer hackers to launch attacks. Mailfrontier has launched a phishing IQ test to help you spot if the bank e-mail arriving in your inbox is real or fake

If they insist on scoring no answer to some of the fraudulent ones as wrong, then I get 4/10, but I'd be perfectly safe.
