Not all websites are true? Yes they are!!
Well that is what you would think. Why would someone spend
their time to make something fake? I don’t really know the answer to that only
that it happens. Some people make fake websites like a fake white house page or
to make people think that there is a dog island.
Most fake websites can be put into some groups. Some just
send you do random sites. Some try to upload viruses such as key loggers onto
your computer, or some even try to make you subscribe to something that is not
even real.
If people make fake sites for a laugh then there will be
quite a few mistakes in the design. Examples of this would be that the font is
not the same as the real website, the colour scheme is different, the pictures
are not the same or even that the website has some content blocked.
For the sites that want you to
download something or want you to subscribe may be done a bit more professionally.
The 1st thing that would put
you off is intuition. Do you think that you should download a file named ‘novirusesinthisdownload’,
or do you want to buy free years’ worth supply of models cars? So obvious
things will give it away biut if they don’t heres a few things that you should
consider. Does the website use an incorrect URL, does it end in
.gov/tv/co.uk/com, or something that you know about. Does it ask for you
banking information. A real bank would never ask for your bank account Information
or your debit card and PIN numbers via email. Check if it actually spells words
correctly. Aslo, check if the images are
of top notch quality, if the pictures are in low resolution then don’t trust
it, simple!
