Pay attention to the url

The first rule is: Pay attention to the url. If the name of the store sounds strange, it is better not to perform transactions on it. Fraudsters often impersonate well-known brandsby adding their name to their domains. This is to imply that the customer buys from a trusted source. If, for example, you want to buy adidas shoes, it is better not to do it on the website of the store called adidasenergyboost.com.

Pages translated from the translator
