Can you spot the fake web site?
How good are you at spotting a scammer web site? Sure, it's easy enough to do when you can take a look at the URL or scroll your mouse over links to see where they really lead. But can you tell just by looking at an image of a web site or email message whether it's the real thing?
McAfee has a little 10 question quiz to test your web savvy. Bet you don't get all 10 right. We scored a 9 out of 10, which is pretty good - but it only takes one wrong move to have your identity stolen.
Of course, McAfee's trying to get you to download their SiteAdvisor product, but it's a free download anyway.

I thought that was pretty interesting. Some of them were pretty good fakes. I was happy with my score.

This is absolute baloney!! Just a silly way of hawking their security app. I scored an 8/10. Errors they point out are near impossible to catch. I dont review any web-page this closely. Every nitty gritty element? I realize some of you may think this the very purpose of the tool--do the detailed analysis for you. I would like to pose two brief questions:
1. How do you reach such dubious sites? What are the chances that I would end up on one of these sites. I dont click on the links in my email.
2. So people you have crappy English be tagged as security risk, or for that matter pages with non-standard CSS?
