When it comes to fake websites and what those sites are trying to accomplish it can be difficult to discern which sites are the real deal and which are fabricated. For example, a fake website will have a different URL than the legitimate site, this detail is minute and very easily overlooked. However, there will always be a difference between the two, the site for Ace Hardware will have a URL that has the name of the organization that is properly spelled, and the fake will have the same however the name will be spelled slightly different. Such as having wear instead of ware, this minute and often overlooked detail leads to many people falling for these scams. So the best ways to protect yourself and others from this outcome is to always make sure the URL is the real deal, to never follow suspicious hyperlinks in emails, and be on alert for any odd goings on in the site.
