Phishing IQ Test

People post fishy (or phishy) emails and scam letters from time to time, so I thought the Phishing IQ Test might be of interest. It presents 10 emails and you have to decide which ones are fake/scams and which ones are legit.

One of the phishing emails had a little subtle humor in it: It gave a couple of pages' worth of advice on Internet fraud, and said the two most common type of scam involved the two techniques it was using. Nice misdirection.
