Check the Website Address Before Entering Your Information

Every day, scammers create fake websites that are almost impossible to distinguish from legitimate ones. They copy the design of banks, online stores, and popular services in an attempt to gain access to your personal information and money.

Before entering your login, password, bank card details, or verification codes, always carefully check the website address in your browser’s address bar.

Pay attention to the following signs:
•    the website address should be spelled correctly, without extra letters, numbers, or symbols;
•    the connection should be secure — a padlock icon (HTTPS) should appear next to the address;
•    do not access bank pages through links from suspicious messages, emails, or messengers;
•    if you have even the slightest doubt about the address, open the official website manually or use a saved bookmark.

Remember: even one extra letter in a website address may indicate that you are on a fake website.

The main rule of cybersecurity: always check the website address before entering personal or banking information. This simple habit can help protect your finances and prevent fraud.
