Fake websites

A web address is like a home address. A house address has a country, a street and a flat number. A web address has three parts. The protocol comes first: https is the safer kind. The resource name comes next, and tells who owns the site; it often ends with .com, .org, .gov or .edu. The file path comes last and says which page inside the site. Look-alike sites change a letter or add an extra word, like ‘green-bokos’ instead of ‘green-books’. So read slowly and check the spelling and grammar. Endings like .edu are signs, not proof. All addresses here are invented. Browse only with a grown-up.
