Many fraudulent websites are promoted through phishing emails, fake emails, or text messages. There are several indicators to help identify fake websites, such as the URL, spelling and grammar errors, and the site’s security certificate. Fraudulent sites often attempt to mimic legitimate URLs, but upon closer inspection, certain characters may be switched out and inserted to create a near-identical appearance. In fake emails, scammers may make spelling errors and have formatting issues. Additionally, almost all legitimate websites should have a security certificate to establish a secure and encrypted connection between the device and the server. To check the security certificate, click on the padlock icon in the address bar.
