Safe Transaction Tips
More tips to help you to identify spoofed web sites:
-
1. Look in the status bar for the padlock icon and domain name of the website. Make sure the padlock is located in the status bar, if the padlock icon is elsewhere it does not mean the web site is secure.
2. Secure web sites will start with the prefix https:// and not http://. These sites operate over a secure network and ensure data is encrypted using a version of the Secure Socket Layer (SSL) or Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocols.
3. Check the web site address carefully. Spoofed websites mimic legitimate web site addresses by replacing letters with similar looking numbers.
4. Make sure you understand the syntax of domain names. For example www.ebay-members-security.com does not belong to www.ebay.com and the web site should not be trusted.
5. Read the content of the website check spelling and grammar of the site.
6. Check the quality of the site, like the company logos. Poor quality logos or spelling errors can indicate a spoofed website.
7. Check that the site is WebsiteSecure.org certified.
