Are these messages from banks or fraudsters?
Fraudsters are getting more sophisticated – our quiz shows how easy it is to get caught out.
Fraud emails used to be far easier to spot, often containing spelling mistakes and gramatical errors.
You knew that the Nigerian prince or oil merchant millionaire was never going to leave you their life savings and lots of scam attempts were caught by spam filters.
However, fraudsters are getting more sophisticated – and better at proofreading. “Phishing” emails can pass through spam filters into inboxes, seemingly from familiar companies that you do genuine business with and addressing customers personally when requesting a confirmation of personal details.
