I highly recommend taking this quiz. I was a 'Phishing Ninja' - 13 out of 14. There's some very good education in here and its not as easy as you'd think.

I got the first one by luck. The only reason I got it is because of the fishy (ahem) "due to congestion" stuff. Also, I'm not sure I get the "forged domain" part.

docs.google.com is valid, isn't it?

The tipoff for me on the Twitter one was all the "extra" stuff after the "twitter.com" address. Shouldn't there be a "/" after the top level domain?

14 out of 14.

Generally with real e-mails I'm more cautious than I was there. I deleted a ton of Amex e-mails before realising that they really had got rid of paper billing.

14 out of 14!

I only looked at the URL each time.

It does make you think twice though...always check the URL!

Yep. But I never click on any link in an email unless I requested the email. Ever.

14 out of 14.

I don't really see how anyone with any knowledge of the internet wouldn't.

I didn't even look at the webpages, just at the url's. The twitter was one of the most obvious. I don't use twitter either, but the top level domain should obviously be twitter.com, not all09.info.

Did nobody else realise that the original link was also a phishing scam?
