Examine the Text of a Website<\/b><\/p>\n

How do you know if a website is trying to steal your info? Look at it. While that sounds simple, and it is, it\u2019s an important thing to do. There could be a few typos, grammatical errors, or spelling mishaps. See if there are any repeating words and paragraphs, too. These errors are a strong signal the website is bogus.<\/span><\/p>\n

Browser Approval<\/b><\/p>\n

Many Internet browsers let you know if a website is safe by including a \u201cverified\u201d checkmark next to the URL. If the site isn\u2019t verified, and you know it should be, then chances are you are on a phishing site instead. <\/span><\/p>\n

Product Images<\/b><\/p>\n

The text isn\u2019t the only important thing on a website. If you notice that the product images are inappropriate or don\u2019t quite match up to what they are supposed to be, get out of there. Look for images and text that appear a little different than what you\u2019d expect. <\/span><\/p>\n

Office Contact<\/b><\/p>\n

If you found the best deal ever online, and are trying to make a purchase but uncertain as to whether or not the website is safe, look for the contact info. If you make a phone call during business hours yet there is no answer, you might want to think twice before handing over your credit card information. <\/span><\/p>\n

Internet Search<\/b><\/p>\n

If something feels off to you but you don\u2019t know exactly what it is, perform a quick Internet search of the company or site in question to see if anyone else has mentioned it. Chances are, if it is a scam, it\u2019s been seen and reported before. <\/span><\/p>\n

Flashy Ads<\/b><\/p>\n

If a legitimate business has flashing, animated ads screaming for attention all along the sidebars, the header, and the footer, think twice before spending much time on the page. A real business cares about their professional appearance and won\u2019t clutter a site with third-party ads.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
