Can spot three fake websites and compare them to three real websites, plus showcase what makes them fake?

               For this question, in my opinion, my answer is yes that I can spot three fake websites and compare them to three real websites, moreover, I also can tell the difference between real websites and fake websites which makes those fake websites fake. So, first, I need to notice some of the unique characteristics of the fake website that criminals want to use in bad ways such as the website having unreliable and unsafety domains such as amaz0n.net, the information on the website offering too good to be true such as “Congratulation you have the right to get the iPhone 14 pro just give us the email and password then iPhone will be yours”, the information on the website has unorganized language and words, etc. After I found websites that have those characteristics, I will compare those websites to the three real websites such as the FBI website, the NASA website, and the Apple Company website which have opposite characteristics from the fake website such as the website having a reliable and safe domain, the information on the website doesn’t offer too good to be true, the information on the website has well-organized language and words, etc. for checking and confirming those websites are fake websites that different from the real website. So, if I do this method, I have confidence that I can spot the 3 fake websites from the 3 real websites and can identify what makes those 3 fake websites fake or have differences from the 3 real websites.
