Here are some guidelines to help authenticate a website
- Examine the URL- Make sure that it matches the official domain of the business or organization it claims. This examination helps to avoid falling for fraud and tricky schemes.
- Watch for errors- Watch out for grammar errors, and spelling mistakes. Many hoax websites show these signs.
- Look for professionalism- Professional websites are normally well-designed and user-friendly. Be aware if the website needs to be updated or more professional.
- Verify HTTPS- Legitimate websites use HTTPS. Ensure there is an “S” at the end as many people miss this error.
- Confirm contact details- You can confirm contact details by calling the phone number, sending an email, or looking up the address. Here is an example of a real email address “jane.doe@domain.com., jane_doe@domain.com.”
- Utilize online tools such as Norton Safe Web, Google safe browsing, etc. This helps avoid potential risks

Two of the fake websites had a lot of pop-up ads with fake deals. Whereas the next three legit websites are professional, The URL matches the domain of their business/organization, has no errors, is user-friendly, has legit contact information, and has a lock on the left of their URL.
