McAfee test: can you recognize fake sites?

McAfee antivirus company has developed a fun online test McAfee SiteAdvisor Phishing Quiz , with which everyone can test their anti-phishing abilities. Can you tell a real website from its fake copy?

Interestingly, all fake copies of sites are taken from real cases of fraud: these are fakes under MySpace, PayPal, Bank of America, etc. In each of them, the real detective will find evidence of a fake, whether it is a mistake in the design, the absence of a letter or a punctuation mark.



In the first two tasks, the presence of URLs on the screenshots leaves no doubt about where the real site is and where it is a fake.

But then the puzzles begin more interesting. If you want to solve them yourself, do not read further, but follow the link and try to identify the fakes yourself.

Fake Bank of America site can be recognized by grammatical errors.


Fake Chase site - for tasteless phrases out of style.


A fake Amazon site "lit up" on a designer blooper.


A bogus letter from PayPal immediately causes suspicion with ridiculous formulations and a suspicious signature of a clearly non-existent unit.



The fake CapitalOne site can be seen from the wrong design.



The fake AOL site did “fall asleep” on the wrong logo. It would seem, what really easier - to copy the logo? But the fraudsters wanted to increase its size so that it would catch the eye of potential victims (this is required to lull their vigilance).
