    This quiz is dumb af. The two that weren’t scams didn’t give you enough info to identify if they aren’t and they both just as likely to be scams? And at the end they said it was still possible for me to get scammed even though I called every single item a scam. How am i gonna get scammed if i assume they are all scams?

      Exactly. There was no context.

      Did the person actually sign up for GeekSquad AV? They didn’t say.

      Does the person actually have a Facebook account? They didn’t say.

      Plus I always assume anything that references Facebook in an email is a scam.

      It’s never a bad thing to be overly cautious when it comes to this stuff

      Honestly, I did pretty well (except the last one which I had no way of knowing was a legitimate web site – and what the hell kind of name is that for a legitimate site anyway? But I digress…), but I would have taken steps to verify every single one of these before taking any further action. I just inherently distrust email and SMS messages.
