Can you spot three fake websites? [Refer Online Security Blogs, Public Awareness Sites, Academic Resources etc., and cite the source]. Compare the three fake websites to three real websites and highlight the features that identify them as fraudulent. Note: Don’t generate or click on unwanted/fake websites on your web browsers. Use examples from your sources to demonstrate what specific characteristics make these websites fake.

According to Aura.com, there were multiple examples of fake websites, such as:
1) WaImart.com
• the site appears legit, however, there’s a capital ”i” instead of a lowercase
“L” to confuse consumers.
• Site should be listed as Walmart.com

2) Delivery.ips.com
• An extra word was added to the domain (Delivery),
• Listed as ips instead of ups, which confuses customers
• Site should be listed as ups.com

3) BankoffAmerica.com
• An extra “f” is added into the domain, which can easily go undetected
• Site should be listed as Walmart.com
