9/10 for me. It'd be easier if you could see the URL, which you always can...

Meh, 9/10. It would have been 10/10, but the question about checking the sender's name is misleading. I mean, it is ONE way to check for a phisher. The question is ambiguous. Although, I have to admit that I only guessed on the Nigeria/American Idol one.

9/10 here too. #3 didn't get me cause of International Access Code. I don't think that's real.

9/10...Missed question #3 as well. I'm still a "Guru" though! I think a lot of these are taken out of context though because the majority of the time it depends on where you're COMING FROM, not going to. If you're careful about where you start you won't end up at spoofed webpages.

I got two wrong, but they were the American banking one's. Think I did this via a link shown on Boing-Boing.

I got two wrong so 8/10.
I got the amazon section wrong but I rarely ever visit amazon....I never saw that little extra image and the SSL part. I feel dumb, of course they can fake SSL....what was I thinking.....

9/10, also #3. Considering I never went to the US, and always see the address bar in the browser, I'd say I don't have to "fear" phising/fakes.

10/10. There were a few that took a bit more reading than others, but there were definitely some obvious issues with each page.
