Phishing test: scam or legit?

Real-looking emails, texts and sign-in pages. Tap the underlined sender, links and account numbers to inspect them, then decide: scam or legit? Some are genuine. Every red flag is numbered and explained.

How the phishing test works

Each round shows eight messages the way they would land on your screen. Before you answer, tap anything with a dashed underline — sender names, links, bank account numbers — to see what is behind it, just like hovering over a link. Then decide. After each answer, the red flags (or green flags) are numbered on the message and explained.

All brands, people and phone numbers in the examples are fictional, so nothing here can be mistaken for a real company.

Frequently asked questions

Is this phishing test like Google’s phishing quiz?

It follows the same idea — realistic examples you inspect and judge — and adds texts, chats, calls and sign-in pages, with every signal explained.

Are any of the examples real messages?

They are realistic but fictional: invented brands, names and numbers. Some examples are deliberately legitimate, because calling everything a scam is not a safe strategy either.

Can I use it to train my team?

Yes. It is free, needs no sign-up, and every round mixes different examples.

What happens to my answers?

Nothing leaves your browser. There is no account and no tracking of answers.
