It is actually pretty easy to spot fake websites. There are a few different ways to do it but the things I have actually done to spot fake websites is first look at the URL, if the domain is spelt wrong, has a random string of numbers or letters, or has a domain that you do not recognize. If any of these tip you off then the site is probably fake but to test it you can copy and paste the URL into a search bar and type fake website or scam behind it and you could come up with articles or the original websites addressing the fake website. Another way to tell is if it is asking you your credit card information when it doesn’t make sense that it would. If a website like Wikipedia has a pop up asking for your financial info then it is probably not the actual Wikipedia unless you are actually donating. This is what happened with me and an email from UPS a while ago. Another way to tell is that if you get an email taking you to a website and the email comes from a fake company or has an out of place addition. If you got emailed by Google@gmail.qw56du.com, then it is definitely fake and you should not click any attachments sent with the email. There are also multiple free tools online that scan a URL of a website to confirm its authenticity.
