Title: Test yourself - can you tell a fraud e-mail from a legitimate ??
Post by: Jome on December 05, 2005, 08:15:08 AM: 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.

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 ;)

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..
