I’m sure none of us would get conned by one of the 419 scams, only do be duped out of thousands of dollars. Or those phishing emails urging us to update our account details, only to find we’ve given thieves all our bank account details. They then use these to siphon off hard earned loot.
Come to think of it, I’m not sure HOW they do this, but apparently they do.
Anyway, I came across this phishing quiz over at Sandspace. All you have to do is decide which email is a scam and which is legitimate.
It’s not quite as easy as it looks – I scored 8 out of 10. Having said that, I misidentified two legitimate emails as scams, so at least my money was safe.
How did you score? Use the comments below to fess up? Were you Savvy or scammed?
Seriously, it’s worth telling your pals about this quiz. Thousands of people are being conned every year and anything we can do to prevent it would be great.
