Can You Spot an Online Scam?

Unless you've been under a rock, you've no doubt received dozens of emails supposedly from companies like ebay, Paypal, and Bank of America asking you to verify your social security number, credit card, or bank information, a scam known as phishing. As phishing becomes more sophisticated it is more important now than ever for you to be able to spot the signs of a scam.

The security experts at McAfee SiteAdvisor have developed an online quiz to test your ability to spot the real site versus the fake. Take the phishing quiz and see if your security knowledge makes the grade.
