No Phish For Me
Someone is trying to scam money out of Kerry supporters with a fairly decent phishing scheme. I get tons of phishing emails and usually delete them without giving them a second thought, although sometimes I forward them to the appropriate fraud department.
I guess enough people must be falling for them to make it the spammers' worthwhile. As for me, I'm paranoid enough to look at the HTML source of my bank's emails to make sure it's valid.
I took MailFrontier's Phish IQ Test and scored a 100. I recognized several of their examples from my own spambox.

Curiosity got the best of me, and I went to the site and took the test. I was really wondering how Internet saavy was I. I didn't do quite as well as you, but I did score a 90. I missed the US Bank Email Link. Wouldn't you know it? I chose to believe it was legit.
I, too, scored 100...and for the same reason as Stepan. I always forward suspected emails to the appropriate fraud department.
