10 out 10, never update anything using a link in an e-mail.
10/10. In the last 3 months I've received every single one of the frauds.

You guys do realize that if you just say all of them are frauds, you'd get a 7/10, right?

9/10.
they need to do a complete test that includes every email ever sent out that is fraud with legit emails.
i missed a paypal one, i said it was legit and it wasn't. i feel dumb.
you can just avoid this crap by, not using links, they should just give you navagation trough the site.

Most of them I have never seen since I don't do that much online shopping. I knew the paypal and ebay ones pretty well since when I buy, I only buy with those.

"10 out 10, never update anything using a link in an e-mail. "
I didnt read the thread before I took the test and I got a 10 out of 10 as well using that same knowledge of knowing not to click on links in emails.

9/10 missed #7. Went against my gut on about 3 (#1, one of the paypal ones, and #7) and missed that 1.
