How to Check If a Website Is Legit or Fake

Written by Nica Latto

• If you’re unsure, don’t click the link: Avoid clicking impulsively and take a moment to research the website or link before proceeding.
• Use a legitimate URL checker: Always use a website checker like Norton Safe Web, Google Transparency Report, VirusTotal, urlscan.io, or the Hybrid Analysis.
• Be a smart online shopper: Pause and check the key signs of a fake site.
