– If you see an image of a closed padlock, then the connection is in a secure format. That is, all data that is transmitted from you to the site and vice versa is encrypted at the time of information transfer.
If you see an image of an open padlock, this indicates that this connection is not secure. True, this method does not always allow you to identify the site of scammers. Therefore, I recommend that you read the reviews.
– Is this the third point?
– Yes, this is the third thing I wanted to talk about. Many caring users leave reviews about fraudulent sites. There are special platforms that post such comments, for example, Otzovik.
Here are three main points that you need to pay attention to in order not to become a victim of scammers. And by design, you can not determine in any way whether it is a fake or not. Because it can be copied completely. The maximum that can distinguish the design of a fraudulent site is that some buttons may not work.
– And online stores – do they need to be checked in the same way?
– As for online stores, here the verification method will be almost the same. Only the second point – security certificates – should be a priority here.
The site of the online store should always contain up-to-date information, for example, a phone number. You can copy the phone number posted on the site and find it using search networks.
Even more news about the stars in the Telegram channel “Star dust”.
Usually, the search network gives this phone number, where it is listed on the official website. For example, there is a Wildberries hotline number. If you enter this number into a search engine, you will see the Wildberries.ru website. Without any extra numbers and signs.
– And what about those who do not really understand all these terms like “domain name”?
– If a person does not understand what a “domain name” or a security certificate is, it is not clear how to check all this, just go to Yandex and enter the data there. Yandex marks official sites with a tick. So it is immediately clear whether this site is reliable.
