I missed 2, one was a phish.
Doesn't matter though.
*Never* answer these e-mail links from anyplace where you have money.
Use the link you normally use to conduct business.

I got the opening screen but my security settings wouldn't let me take the
test.

I did pretty good, I think. 9 out of 10 correct. I missed number 9.

I agree with Vic. If I get one of these emails and it requires action, I
call the bank.

I got five correct. I'm so paranoid that I got none of the legitimate ones
correct! If I ever got an email I wasn't expecting, I'd do likewise - call
the bank!

I missed 2, both were supposed to be legitimate I said phish but I
would question any thing that didn't have my real name as registered
at the bank as being real.
I would have deleted all of these anyway because the "legitimate" ones
were spam.


Erring on the side of safety is the way to go.

I got the same and missed the same.

It's a false construct anyway - any moron who deals with anything
personal finance through email deserves what happens.

Call the bank.

Probably why I have survived this long running with my real name and
minimal virus protection. I don't open much, I reject cookies and I
delete most of my Email unopened.



And all this time I thought your real name was Reginald Smithers.
