It has been awhile since I've posted anything as I have been really busy trying to get things setup where I work. That being said though I always at least skim my compliment of various types of sites and look at what is happening around the web as far as news goes. I ran ran across this
McAfee SiteAdvisor Phishing Quiz . I got nine out ten correct. So I guess that would translate into something like I could spot a fake 90% of the time. Only problem with that though is it only takes one time to really mess up one's day. Of course this kind of test isn't an absolute indication of how likely one is to become a scam victim but just an exercise in recognizing what is happening in the wild. Staying safe from scammers is in my opinion is part
common sense, coupled with use of
tools and best practices.
