Safe Browsing From Phishing Site..
The best thing to do is to check the page's URL to make sure it's actually controlled by the party represented. The key part of the URL is between the "http://" and the next slash ("/") or the end of the URL. This is the part of the URL that indicates the owner of the site.
A typical URL for Google looks like the following: http://www.google.com In some cases, URLs will be a bit more complex; be sure to check the name listed immediately to the left of the top level domain (.com, .net, co., uk, etc.). For instance, http://www.google.com, http://news.google.com and http://www.google.com/firefox/ are all part of the same site.
However, google.com.fraudulentdomain.com/login.html is NOT! Neither is www.g00gle.com (note that in this URL, the letter o is replaced by the number 0). Tip: Since a forged URL can look very similar to a genuine one, it's safer to use a bookmark you've created or to type the URL into the location bar by hand instead of following links from your email. This is important for any page where you're asked to log in or provide private information.
If you find a page that you believe is pretending to be another page in an attempt to steal users' information, Please report it to google. |
