For this I picked 3 news websites that are fake. The first two websites the giveaway is the .co at the end of the URL. The webpages look mostly like the websites they are faking, making it harder to tell if you are not paying attention. The last website is a low-quality spoof of a local news website. Much like the other 2, there are a lot of generic ads. A giveaway for this website is that it never specifies where the local news is local too. All 3 pages also lack an “About us” page that could help verify authenticity. Other tactics used by fake websites include grammar and spelling mistakes and blurry or low-quality images. Another telling factor is the age of the website. A common demoninator across fake websites include a very recent creation date.
