Can you spot three fake websites and compare the three fake websites to three real websites, plus showcase what makes the fake websites fake? What makes the fake websites fake?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Making sure that you know a real website versus a fake website is crucial to anything that you do online. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of course, I can’t pull up what a fake website is due to of course potentially having a security issue on my own computer. Just take for example when you go online, and you type in google “How to get an FHA loan.” You will get all types of sites popping up. Starting with ads then it will be more stuff that you have not heard of. Say you click on that site that is not a “real” site and you see what it says “Not secure” or even if you have a computer, it sometimes will say that this site is not trusted. You they will back out of it. But then say you are at work, and you get an email from an external source which you know is not your HR department, you will then know that what they are asking, “Reset your password, it had been compromised.” That is not from your HR department, the email looks off, the HR department name is off and as well you received it externally. These are all examples of how spotting a real website from a fake one is crucial ion everyday life and in work. Below I have given a few examples.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
