Re: The McAfee SiteAdvisor Phishing Quiz
This is where being a detail-oriented grammarian comes in really handy - the Bank of America and CapitalOne questions were really easy, because the fake sites had a ton of spelling and grammar errors. 
I admit I mulled over Chase and Amazon for a while. Cheated a bit on Amazon - pulled up the real site to double-check the number of categories. 
Final result:
YOU ANSWERED 10 OF 10 QUESTIONS CORRECTLY
Rating: Safety Guru
Nice work! Your practically clairvoyant knowledge of the Web allows you to spot even the most realistic looking spoofed sites. We're impressed!
I kind of guessed on Question 9, and the funny thing is that for several of the questions, my reasoning for why a site looked fake was different from theirs!
