Too Smart to be Scammed Test
Always worth checking your "current" abilities to identify todays scams. I got a disappointing 7.......worrying as it just takes the one to bite you

Re: Too Smart to be Scammed Test
I also got 7 out of 8, but the one I got wrong was a genuine one that I wasn't sure about, so I erred on the side of caution

7 out of 8 for me as well.
I guess the one I got wrong was the same one as Chrissie got wrong.
It was a genuine one which I thought might be a scam but I think it could have been worded better as it was genuine.
Cheers

Re: Too Smart to be Scammed Test
7/8 for me; tripped up on Q6.
The interesting question to be asked is 'Who devised this test?' What a good way to discover what folk might fall for...
Or is that suspicious too far...?

7 out of 8 for me too. I think Q6 is the one that caught us all out but best to be cautious.
Re: Too Smart to be Scammed Test
The longer the thread runs the easier it will get because Q6 has been highlighted as a trick question now.

7 out of 8. I got the same one wrong as most other people but I still think when in doubt be cautious.
