Can you identify which emails are phishing scams?. I got 8 out of 10 and my 2 mistakes were identifying legit email as phishing. Overly suspicious, that's me.

I got 7 out of 10, two of which were because I was being very overgenerous after reading that you'd been being overly suspicious ;-)

I wasn't sure about the PayPal, because to my mind, it might've been something that popped up immediately after transacting something... (no answer)

The Washington Mutual phish is one that I actually received once. Freaked me out that Wash Mut hadn't sued their derriers already.

EBay - I thought that was an obvious fraud, because to my mind a billing address correction would only be notified when the user is logged in, and would be conducted on their secure site - not via e-mail. But then, I've never used EBay.

Network Solutions - I really wasn't sure at all. (no answer)
