Most liked posts in thread: Can you spot a Phishing Attempt?

13 out of 14 here, also. Same thing -- I said it was a phish when it was not...

I am a NINJA! w00t!

 

AND the second most interesting guy...

 

I do a google search to see what "Phishing" is and then I'll take the test.

pretty cool.

That was awesome!!

I don't know bout you all, but I did so well that they put me in touch with a lawyer representing a VERY wealthy family in Nigeria of all places.

Because of how well I did on the test they wanted to use my expertise in helping the family acquire the release of their extensive funds from corrupt bankers and politicians in their homeland.

I feel honored that they would ask me to help. It is so simple, see they are going to trick the bank into giving the money to me so I can give it back to them. All I need to do is send them money from my account to get the ball rolling......

simple.

 

How do we know this link is not phishing?:arf:

I got 14 out of 14, but I have experience with this. One of my e-mail accounts receives at least 50 phishing messages a day...:frown2:

 

12 of 14. I identified 2 of 'em as Phishing when they really weren't. Oh well... better to be overcautious.

 

14 of 14, but then I'm a professional.

 

13 out of 14 also... overly cautious as well

 

I scored 12 of 14 but realized about halfway through that I should have been paying closer attention to the displayed URLs. I did it again with the URLs as the primary focus and it was a whole lot easier to separate the loaves from the phishes. :wink:

 

I got 8 out 14 , but the ones I missed I had never seen before and I would not click on a site that was not known to me , that's what delete is for .

 

What's wrong with that? I have spent many a relaxing and content summer's day at lake Erie on my in law's Chriscraft. Beer in one hand and a phishing rod in the other.

Such is life.... Some like to catch fresh phish, others like frozen phishstix......

 

Pharking right.

 

13 of 14 here too......called one a phish when it was not.

So the red X marks the one I got wrong?

 

Y'all are a bunch of paranoids.

 

14 out of 14. Like someone else, I have an account that gets bombarded with spam and phishing attempts. I've actually been seeing some recently that are on the sophisticated side (by which, I mean they took the time to try to correctly html code an email and obscure the URLs).

When I clicked on the link, it asked for Nathan's SSN and password for security verification.. can you send those to me so I can complete the test?

 

Oh you guys and your phish stories...

 

I caught one this__________________________________big...man I wish you all could have seen it!!

 

14 / 14.

12 out of 14, should have paid more attention to the urls and read the ads
