Fake website are hard to spot at first sight so that why when logging into a website need to pay attention to detail. In this example above we can clearly see that the Facebook URL has been changed indicating that an outside source or third-party has tampered with this site. Emails are similar to this as well where their are slight hints of tempering, these sites, or emails can have key loggers stealing password and personal information.

In this example we can see that the Tracking Number is fake along with the URL, sometimes indivual’s can change the URL to almost be the exact same by changing an o to a 0 so looking at other details to see if an website is fakes is useful especially in this situation.

So this is not at website but an email, it is a great example to show the slight differences in a scam emails and a legitimate email. The scam emails shows a link and real ticket will never how a link, also reference ticket number shows the number with the numbers verifying the legitimacy of this ticket. Also another spot is it has a email of a regular person not like a support email. Understanding these differences will help people understand from causing breaches.
