« Back to Glossary Index

It is a deceptive practice that the scammers use to trick the people into entering a counterfeit website and compromising their private information. This method is used to trick the people who incorrectly type a URL into a search engine. The cyber scammers and the hackers often create fake websites having close resemblance with the actual URL address and will make them look nearly identical to the login homepage. For example, Google.com in place of Google.com. This is mostly designed for gaining your sign-in information of the other crucial data about you. Sometimes, these sites sell counterfeit products that are very close to the original.
