Take the SonicWALL Phishing IQ Test. Not only will you get the answers, but they'll explain what to look out for in both genuine and naughty e-mail.

We got 90% -- the eBay one would be more obvious if, you know, it was really faking your own CC info. I'd know that right away. But other than that, most were pretty obvious. I love "paypai.com", that ROCKED. We giggled much.

I also got 90%, missing the eBay one, and for the same reason--I'd know what the last four digits of my card number and the expiration date were, and the odds of accidentally getting both of those correct with random numbers are pretty darn low indeed.

(And I've received legit e-mails from one of my credit card companies that are phishier than actual phishing; took me a while to nail down that it really was legit corporate-spam. For a while now, I've gotten 'em once or twice a month, and I swear, I've gotten phishing messages that were more believable...)
