Yeah, I messed up the Chase one too. The "Residential Address Line 1", followed by "Address Line 2" seemed suspicious to me.
I missed the amazon one. I must have missed the exclamation mark. Their idea that two drop down menu's are odd... well... I'd never have recognized that as being odd without having used the site for a while.
I think it's an odd test anyhow, as it's testing your trust of unknown sites based on site content (I've never seen most of these sites, and don't use amazon.com but instead amazon.de and amazon.co.uk), when on such sites the URL is extremely important. Frankly, I wouldn't have trusted half of the "trustworthy" sites normally. Furthermore, they removed personally identifiable information - but that kind of information is crucially important to recognizing a false site...
10/10! Woo-hoo!

Damn, Chase got me too.
10/10 :-)
It would have been easier if the URL had been visible for all sites. That's the first thing I check. But I suppose McAfee's marketing department had other things in mind...
w00t, 10/10 :)
I wonder how many phishers will now use this test to make sure their site passes all the tests with flying colors :P
Most of them were educated guesses, based on the comparison. However, presented with one single page and no possibility to compare, I would spontaneously check:
- the url first
- urgent warnings
- 'dear valued customer' instead of my name
- typos and spelling mistakes

It's a bit of a pain that you have to look at the full-size screens to do it successfully; some of the clues involve misspelled words that you can't see at the smaller size.
