I really surprised myself and scored eight, without even guessing. I am ultra cautious, as my card was cloned once. It’s not a nice feeling to know someone has taken a lot of your money.

6/8 because I didn't trust genuine messages. I don't think you can be too cautious. Better safe than sorry!

I got 8/8 but I was being particularly cautious. As a general rule I wouldn't give details to anyone unless I had contacted them on a known number. it's a scary world out there!

I got 8 out of 8 but I think my success was because I has taken a similar test a few weeks ago through one of the online newspapers where I got one wrong. This made me more cautious, which I'm sure is the aim of the tests, by making me much more aware of what to look for when I receive these messages and emails.

6/8 for me - I don't trust anyone!

I got 6 out of 8, I erred on the side of caution on a couple of the genuine ones.

5 out of 8 for me - not great!!!!

I got 7 as well. I got the text question wrong :-(

I got 7 out of 8 I'm quite happy with that

I scored 7/8. Some scams look quite genuine.

The only safe rule is never to click on an email link unless you are sepcifically expecting it, e.g. when you are registering onto something and you have to confirm your email address.

What I always do is check the links (you can do this on Apple computers by hovering over the links). If they look dubious, not what they claim to be, I just delete the email they came in. If the link looks as if it might be genuine, I go to the website of the sender and check that way.

It's worth remembering that there are very few times when you need to click on a link in an unsolicited email. Just don't do it. Get to where the link is trying to send you via another route (web browser) if you feel you must.

Only 5 out of 8. Oh dear. However, I said no to all the ones about text messages, but that's because my bank would never text me and I would suspect anything like that. I don't do online banking either. We have all got to keep on our toes these days eh?

7/8 it can be tricky to spot a scam. Some fraudsters are quite sophisticated.

Embarrassed that I only got 5/8, at least I was erring on the side of caution!

7/8 I would have got 8/8 but I was sloppy in reading one question. I do hate all the spam/fraudulent e-mails that come in, there are some wicked people out there.

I got 6 out of 8 - far too cautious

7/8 wasnt sure about the mgs from the bank

I got 6 out of 8 -I'm actually quite shocked as I regard myself as being ultra cautious about bogus calls and texts. A good quiz that points out that we're all vulnerable and need to be even more vigilant.

8/8
I enter a lot of competitions, how can tell if an email saying I have won something is genuine?

7/8 for me, better to be over cautious I suppose.

I got 5 out of 8, the ones I got wrong were the ones that are genuine from the bank. It's always hard these days to know what's right and wrong sometimes.

I got 7/8 and i am suprised that I got one wrong as i thought i was really good at spotting fraudulent requests! Its so worrying how real some of the texts seem!

Oops only got 4 out of 8 so will read take 5 with interest

7/8 is not bad but still got one wrong....have to be more careful!!

8/8 for me. I think you just need read every email and text carefully.
