Test your knowledge of Internet Scams

[3ammo]

Can you tell if a real website from a fake one? Do you know if these e-mails are really from Paypal or are they as scam?


McAfee’s Site Advisor put together a small quiz to test your knowledge of online scams. Check it out on their site McAfee Site Advisor (http://www.siteadvisor.com/quizzes/phishing_0707/)


I was tricked by two out of the 10 questions. People who don’t notice the little things carefully could easily fall for these scams.

Not bad. You avoided some deceptive Web sites that would have put your personal information at risk. But you chose others that pose serious security threats that could lead to identity theft or financial losses.
