How to identify Website impersonation?

• Carefully Look at the Address Bar and URL
  ‍
Be sure that the site is secured by looking at the address bar (URL) to see if there is an “s” in the URL, which should look like this “https://” to start with or has a lock symbol in the address bar. This does not guarantee against a scam site, but it shows that the site owner is using secured encryption processes to transfer data and protect itself from hackers.
  
• Check the Contact Page
  ‍
Review the options for contacting the company. If you don’t see multiple options (phone, email, live chat, or physical address) then proceed with caution.
  
• Double Check the Domain Name

  ‍Scammers will tend to create “similar” domain names to trick the user into thinking they are on a legit site, like kristal6780.host, kristal.website and http://h5-kristal999.xyz, making subtle changes that you may not even notice. Always double check the address bar to see if you have been redirected to a website that is not legitimate.
• Watch for Poor Grammar and Spelling

  Legitimate company websites will take great care in having a professional looking site. An excess of spelling, punctuation, and grammar errors could mean the website went up quickly. Occasional typos on a website can happen, but excessive errors could mean you are not on a legitimate site.
