Also 10/10 but I doubt my mother would manage the same, phishing is getting more and more realistic all the time!

Unfortunately it misses out the easy way which is to hover the mouse over the link and read the URL.

I'm getting old. Only 9/10 - one of the Q's foxed me. As said, if you are less than familiar with EM's say as an occasional user or inexperenced (supposedly 10 Million peops in the UK have not usd the interweb..) its too easy to be caught out. requesting log on details etc is the big giveaway.
