Online Scams: Do you know your stuff?

[kinetic]

Hey guys, McAfee has put a test to see if you can spot online scams. It's a good way to test your ability to figure out authentic vs. scam emails and websites. For example, emails asking you to update your paypal information including your password etc.

Anyway, I thought it would be a good way to test yourself and to educate yourself about a few identity theft schemes.

I missed the Chase one, simply because the errors were all about proof reading. The reason I chose the "correct" one was that was the only one which asked for information that shouldn't be free to give, a social security card.

Booyah! 10 out of 10.

Hardest one was the myspace account (don't have one). I've seen the rest.
