Fake Emails & Spoof Websites

Wow! i almost subscribed to that fake website.. good thing i didnt lol

I realized that google chrome can catch phishing sites because it has a warning when a website is using a different url than the one at the top and also checks to see if the https is a fake (try typing https://www.toontowncentral.com on it and it will cross out the https)
So if u want extra security get chrome
P.S It also tells u if the connection is encrypted and if the identity of the site is vertified
P.S.S Other browsers might also have it's features but i'm not sure
(NEW) P.S.S.S It also says if u have been there before (Not affected if u clear cache)

I've always hated things like this, but it is easy to spot for me even although I am a child. My dad is good at teaching me about things like this, since he has had e-mails for trying to get his identity, and even phone calls. May I as well share about something I've had?

Well, I know that most of you here are fimiliar with some websites you visit. There are ads on the websites, saying things like 'Congratulations! You are the 999th person to visit this site! Click here to win your ipod touch!'
This is just something very stupid-If you hover your mouse over it, it is something you click. Normally the mouse would remain normal on an ad until you hover over the button.

You also can get these sites by clicking pictures on Google Images. You click on the picture and it takes you to a particular site. It might come up saying a shocking, confusing thing. This actually caught me out, and I would of fell for it if it wasn't for my Dad. (Thanks Dad x ) I clicked on an anime picture, and it had a huge pop-up coming saying 'The following website has been blocked for safety reasons.' It would scan, well it SAYS it would scan the website. It would also say that it has found so many objects containing viruses. There may be a button saying 'Start Protection'. This would be, as I was told, something that you might have to pay for as a security system, doesn't work and I think it steals more of your money.

Typical for what people do this.

Sorry for long post lol.
