Can you spot the fake?

[WildCowboy]

Fun little quiz from McAfee...identifying spoofed sites and other scams. Not hard, but fun to spot the giveaways.

I got 8 out of 10 without even enlarging the pictures.

Lucky guessing.

 

[Eidorian]

9/10 and I had a lot of fun doing this.

 

[gauchogolfer]

9/10 : the Chase one got me.

 

[Queso]

LOL. 8/10. So much for my security credentials

 

[techlover828]

8/10

paypal and myspace

LOL. 8/10. So much for my security credentials

Same here- I feel I let myself down.

That being said, if I was really going to enter personal information I would have paid A LOT more attention.

8/10 for me....and i'm really off my game today because i missed some rather obvious grammatical errors. oopsie.

that was fun...thanks for the link!

 

[Royale w/cheese]

9/10, the chase one got me too. Maybe I should have read it some more. That almost seemed like one of the more obvious ones if you read their explanation.

[siurpeeman]

7/10

 

[MacNut]

The Banking sites screwed me up.

 

[LinuXtreme]

9/10

I always scrutinize a website before giving personal information or logging in. There was one I got confused on and accidentally voted for.

Of course it helped that I'm familiar with most of those sites and their layout

7/10 - MySpace, CapitalOne and Chase

Of course, I've never used CapitalOne, so their big giveaway - the logo - didn't do anything for me. But, that's no excuse.

 

[mkrishnan]

I got 10/10 also. I thought the Chase and Cap One ones were hard. Some of the others I knew right away because I actually use them, though. Although, scarily, I use BoA and I had to scrutinize that one closely.

 

[iRachel]

9/10 Missed the myspace one - and I since I don't use it, I'm not worried.

 

[psycoswimmer]

9/10, I missed the Amazon one I think.

 

[invasian]

9/10

I got the very last question wrong about SSL...oops, at least now I know. There were some of them where the address bar link was shown and you just have to check to make sure it is https

and there were some that I used so I knew what they were supposed to look like (e.g., Amazon)

 

[DoFoT9]

NNOOOOO...... 4/10.. i even fail in computers aswell as life.

 

[CalBoy]

7/10

I learned some stuff though, which is good. Thanks WildCowboy, it was fun

 

[synth3tik]

I got 8 out of 10. It's kind of sobering.

 

[adrianblaine]

8/10

paypal and myspace

Same here

 

[steamboat26]
