I got 8/10... but one of the ones I got wrong was about scams, and I confused a phone scam with an email scam.

7 out of 10, but I don't use the internet for those purposes either... If I have to make an online payment, etc., I go straight to the website.

7 out of 10 but what the test doesn't allow you to do is enlarge the entire pic including the URL... most phishing scams use an IP address rather then having the URL spelled out. And any site that's asking for your social security number is definitely off limits.

I was going to forward this to a friend who recently fell victim to one of these scams.

Sadly, the quiz seems to have been removed.
