However, once you give them your account information, personal information, or financial information, that&#8217;s when trouble begins. They can then use this information to <a href=\"https:\/\/socialcatfish.com\/scamfish\/identity-theft-report\/\">commit identity fraud<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/socialcatfish.com\/scamfish\/banking-scams-how-scammers-gain-access-to-your-bank-account-information\/\">drain your bank account<\/a>.

If you still aren&#8217;t sure, look for reviews about that website that are not affiliated directly with the website.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Make sure the website&#8217;s connection is secure.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>To <a href=\"https:\/\/socialcatfish.com\/scamfish\/formjacking-how-scammers-use-malicious-codes-to-hack-into-websites\/\">make sure the website is secure<\/a>, look for an &#8220;https:\/\/&#8221; encryption at the beginning of the URL. Some browsers will even have something stating &#8220;Secure&#8221; or &#8220;Unsecure&#8221; to the left of the URL.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Analyze the web site&#8217;s URL for clues that it might be fake.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>A website&#8217;s URL should contain &#8220;http:\/\/&#8221; or &#8220;htpps:\/\/&#8221;, the domain name, such as &#8220;socialcatfish,&#8221; and the extension, such as &#8220;.com,&#8221; &#8220;.net,&#8221; &#8220;.org,&#8221; etc. Any website with &#8220;.gov&#8221; or .edu&#8221; is usually credible, since it means it&#8217;s an educational institute or governmental website.<\/p>\n<p>It <strong>SHOULD NOT<\/strong> contain multiple dashes or symbols in the domain name. It also SHOULD NOT copy a business website by misspelling it or adding extra characters, such as &#8220;s0cialcatfish&#8221; or &#8220;soc1alcatfish&#8221; or &#8220;soc1alcatf1sh&#8221;. If a website URL ends in &#8220;.info&#8221; or &#8220;.biz,&#8221; that&#8217;s also a sign that the website isn&#8217;t credible. Along with these, also watch out for &#8220;.net&#8221; or &#8220;.com&#8221; since they are easily obtainable extensions, though not every website with these endings is fake.<\/p>\n[aesop_image  img=&#8221;https:\/\/socialcatfish.com\/scamfish\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Programmer-working-on-code-533383-scaled.jpg&#8221; panorama=&#8221;off&#8221; imgwidth=&#8221;100%&#8221; align=&#8221;center&#8221; lightbox=&#8221;off&#8221; captionsrc=&#8221;custom&#8221; captionposition=&#8221;left&#8221; revealfx=&#8221;off&#8221; overlay_revealfx=&#8221;off&#8221;]\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Watch out for bad grammar on the website.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Poorly spelled words, bad grammar, awkward phrasing, and punctuation errors are all warnings to stay away from that website.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Make sure the website has contact information on it.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/socialcatfish.com\/scamfish\/internet-privacy\/\">On most legitimate websites<\/a>, they have a contact page for any questions, suggestions, or comments you might have to the website&#8217;s team.

It is a <strong>MAJOR RED FLAG<\/strong> if there is no contact page on the website.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Watch out for overwhelming advertising.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If an ad takes up the whole page, there are multiple ads in one page, plays sounds, requires you to take a survey, redirects you to another page, or is explicit in any way then you&#8217;re probably on a fake website.<\/p>\n[aesop_image  img=&#8221;https:\/\/socialcatfish.com\/scamfish\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Programmers-studying-website-layout-528955-scaled.jpg&#8221; panorama=&#8221;off&#8221; imgwidth=&#8221;100%&#8221; align=&#8221;center&#8221; lightbox=&#8221;off&#8221; captionsrc=&#8221;custom&#8221; captionposition=&#8221;left&#8221; revealfx=&#8221;off&#8221; overlay_revealfx=&#8221;off&#8221;]\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Use a <a href=\"https:\/\/whois.domaintools.com\/\">WhoIs search<\/a> to see where the website comes from.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>All domains are required to publish contact information for the person or company that owns the website.

Also, look for their employees on <a href=\"https:\/\/socialcatfish.com\/scamfish\/linkedin-scams-7-ways-avoid-not-so-professional-scammer\/\">LinkedIn<\/a>. If there aren&#8217;t any reviews or employees, then question the authenticity of the website.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Use the <a href=\"https:\/\/transparencyreport.google.com\/safe-browsing\/search\">Google Transparency Report<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Type in the website that you are questioning in the Google Transparency Report search bar and hit enter.

If it&#8217;s a company you&#8217;ve never heard of or looks suspicious, then ignore the email without clicking on the link. Links like these could lead to <a href=\"https:\/\/socialcatfish.com\/scamfish\/signs-of-identity-theft\/\">identity theft<\/a> and your money being stolen.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Make sure there are security certificate details for the website<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The security certificate details for each website can determine that your connection to that website is private. This means that a third party website can not eavesdrop on you while on the website to steal your information.<\/p>\n<p>There are many types of <a href=\"https:\/\/socialcatfish.com\/scamfish\/small-business-network-security\/\">security<\/a> certificate details that you can view in the certificate&#8217;s subject. A DV certificate has just the domain name, an OV certificate will only include limited company information, an EV certificate will include detailed company information. However, the preferred type of certificate to look for is the OV SSL certificate which gives you verified business details about the company, which will confirm that the website is real.<\/p>\n<p>For Safari, Google Chrome, and Firefox, all you need to do is click the padlock by the URL, click more information, and then click view certificate to view security details and make sure you are not on a
