PURPOSE Fake websites are designed to steal passwords, payment information, personal data, or trick users into downloading harmful software. COMMON SIGNS Fake sites may use misspelled brand names, unusual domains, poor grammar, broken links, copied logos, fake support numbers, or urgent warnings. CHECK THE ADDRESS Read the full web address carefully. Attackers often use domains that look close to real ones but are not the same. DO NOT TRUST APPEARANCE ALONE A fake website can look professional. The address and behavior matter more than the logo. WHAT TO DO Leave the site and report it if it came from email, chat, search results, or a suspicious message.
