Yea I didn't pick up on the things they mentioned, but I know the standard amazon login page and so knew which was the right one. I got the AOL one wrong oddly, because I figured being asked to type your password in somewhere to "confirm email" sounded bloody dodgy!

10/10

Although I admit the Bank of America one was a guess. I don't see how you could know that without being familiar with their site. I used to work for Scottish Widows and some of their sites were absolutely riddled with spelling mistakes

8/10 but I wasnt exactly paying attention, besides if they'd included the URL's for them all I'd have got them all correct.

Is it just me or do both both those PayPal ones ask you to click a link and enter your password?

I wouldn't have trusted either had I received them...

9/10, ballsed up the MySpace one because I opened the large images in tabs but the opposite way round to the page and so I actually chose the wrong one :/

Didn't the Paypal one on the left say "Click here to Reactivate your account"? The one on the right said to "Enter your name and password". I'm going from memory, so I may be mistaken.

The Link said that, the text immediately above it says: "You must click the link below and enter your password"

They did - you had to look at the thumbnails and you could see the URL.
