All system prompts should include a photo of a user selected image. If the incorrect image is displayed you know its a scam.&lt;p&gt;For example when I install Windows 8 or Mountain lion one of the first prompts I must address is:&lt;p&gt;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;   &quot;Please choose an image to help you identify 
   valid system prompts&quot;
&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;
The user is then presented 10 images (a tiger, a house, a moose, etc) from a library of 10,000 images.&lt;p&gt;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;   &quot;The user decides to use an image of a tiger&quot;
   
&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;
Next time a user gets a system prompt if the system prompt doesn&apos;t have the picture of a tiger they know its a fake prompt.&lt;p&gt;See site key: &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SiteKey&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SiteKey&lt;/a&gt;</text></comment>
