That is the very sort of site I would choose to avoid visiting and using in order to protect my system from infection and malware etc etc
Sure, if we know much more about it then that may make it safe - but I dont and that is the whole point - Is it not ? - to exercise considerable care about where you go and what sites you visit and what buttons you click on, what you download.

The whole point is that malicious sites use techniques to make you feel at ease and interact with them in order to penetrate your system !!!

The logic . . .
Omaroo did it, seems OK, he knows something about it, I trust Omaroo's judgement so I will visit it too . . . Bang - You're dead !

Now I realise that's alarmist and I know nothing of PhishQuiz - but isn't this the very point you were trying to make ?
One has to use their own judgement based on extremely limited knowledge.

I got 0/5 because I didnt do the quiz because it looked fishey to me !!

Hope its safe.

Cheers
