    I got 90% which wasn't bad, if the links were shown I'd have got them all.

    Part of my work duties is 'postmaster' so I get exposed to these emails daily.

    English doesn't borrow from other languages. It follows them down dark alleys, knocks them over, and goes through their pockets for loose grammar.

              70%.. I said fraud for all of them, because I wouldn't bother opening them anyhow.

                  90%: I thought the MSN spam (#1) was a fraud.

                  They would all be automatically shunted to my spam box with POPFile and never read. My spam sorting is currently 99.87% accurate, most of the errors being spam messages remaining unclassified.

                    Only got caught out by the '-' in the ebay one. Which meant it wasnt a sub domain. Silly me.

                        60%. Only one was missed that was actually a scam. The other three were effectively thrown through the window.

                              btw, they have 10 new phishing test webpages/email setup for you teo test your luck(or skill). I searched for this page so I could send the link to my mom who is finally getting into email and getting on the internet.

                              I got 7 out of 10 this time around. the good news is, the 3 I got wrong were legit, so I guess it is better to be safe than sorry.
