Look-alike websites

As you shop online, be wary of look-alike domains that cyber attackers create by substituting a few characters in the URLs. Shoppers who are not able to distinguish between real and fake sites end up being tricked into giving their personal or financial information. To avoid this, watch out for URLs that use the names of well-known brands along with extra words, according to Better Business Bureau (BBB).
