A quiz of sorts at MailFrontier to find out if you would recognize a scam when you see it:
You got 7 out of 10 correct, or 70 %
With one I couldn’t make up my mind, but it turned out to be a phishing scam. Oh well. The other two I got wrong were both emails that got me suspicious because of the domainname being used, but they turned out to be legitimate emails from the respective companies.
Better safe than sorry? I think it would be a good idea for a company to disclose beforehand what domains customers can trust when receiving email (assuming no trickery with URLs like http://www.foo.com@bar.com/), but I don’t think I’ve seen anyone do that yet.
