I'm sharing a room here in Dublin with another person...
Few days ago as I was moving a drawer chest I found a piece of paper behind it. It was probably left there by people who lived there before I moved in... ... it had usernames and passwords written to emails and several other websites. Moreover it had a two bank account numbers written and PINs for them. It was all neaatly written; Username: Password: Account number: PIN: so if someone stumbles across it knows what's what . Can't believe people can be so stupid. Writing all this on a piece of paper. and moreover not searching for it properly after realizing it's lost. The person's lucky it was I who found it and not somebody else [img]graemlins/heee.gif[/img] . Though I'm still pondering the idea of pinning it to a notice board somewhere [img]graemlins/hehe.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/showoff.gif[/img] .

That's really stupid but check this out:
http://survey.mailfrontier.com/survey/quiztest.html I had 70% but for the ones I got wrong the site didn't give proper proof for me. I suppose they know what's real but some arguments are a bit weak. |

I got 70% too. And all I got wrong were really legitimate emails I thought to be frauds. I guess I'm just paranoid.

I got 9 out of 10 correct, (or 90 %)
I missed the last one. I am surprised that I did not get it right.

Seven of ten here as well... and I was also just more skeptical. No frauds got past me, but legit stuff was rejected.
Realistically, though, I use more than just the email to determine if I'm going to believe it. I look at the source code of the email, check the links that are used in the email, and also consider whether or not I have a business relationship with them.
