Here are some practical methods for detecting fake websites that may help you.
Who is Domain
https://www.whois.com/whois/
There are websites providing useful information of the website you want to visit:
Binance Domain
Registered on 2017.
High Risk Domain
Registered on 2024 just a couple of months old.
Old website means ‘Good’, new website means ‘Bad’
Wayback Machine
http://web.archive.org/
The Wayback Machine is a digital archive of the World Wide Web, it allows the user to go "back in time" to see how websites looked in the past.
So if you want to visit a website that sells for example cars, but you noticed that the same website was selling in the past mobile phones and before that was selling shoes, means that it’s not safe for you to buy.
Use web search wisely!
When you search online for a company remember to click on the links that are not advertised. You will notice that search engines like Google tend to provide you several results for the company that you are searching for! Don’t be afraid to choose a second option from the same company if the first option is under ‘advertise’ or ‘sponsored’ tag.
Remember! Advertise or Sponsored means that someone paid the search engine to be first in people choice. The more someone pays, the better the results!
