Take the test to see if you can tell "phishing mails" or fraud mails from the legitimate ones:

Click each company name to see the e-mail.

And was it dubbed to Dutch or with subtitles ?

2. Cross Country Bank
Phishing Fraud ... INCORRECT


at least i'm erring on the side of caution..

and actually they can fuck emselves.. i said NO because the email didnt match the domain it came from..

email from crosscountrybank.com link goes to crosscountrybanking.com.. legit my arse!

plus i wouldnt bank with them.. if i did i'd know if they owned the other domain...


and for they ebay one kain.. you can be forgiven as you wouldnt know that ebay.com / ebay.co.uk pretty much doesnt matter.. both domains work..


so we both get 10/10 in my book ;)

no i found it at the MF Doom forum. is it any good? this thing was pretty fun. but the movie wont be dubbed, dutch always use subtitles. the only thing thats dubbed in dutch is Eurosport and the childrens news.

It's a hilarious movie, kinda simple, yet entertaining.  ;D
Dunno if it is as funny if you don't understand the language though, some jokes get lost in the translation..
