Fake Sites Can Look Real

When you open a website, a familiar logo and colors can make it feel safe right away. If the page is well made, it may look almost exactly like the real thing.

Looking Official Does Not Prove It Is Real

That is why fake sites are dangerous. Some are designed to copy the look of official pages so well that they feel trustworthy at first glance.

Choose a Safe Way In

A site can look real and still be fake. That is why it is safer to open a service from its official app or homepage instead of from a random link.

Fraudulent websites are often designed to look nearly identical to legitimate ones. Before entering any personal information or clicking important links, check the full URL carefully, look for subtle misspellings, and verify that the site uses a secure connection. When in doubt, navigate directly through a search engine rather than clicking links.

What you can do today
When you need to log in, open the service from its official app or homepage instead of from a link you were sent.

At Digital Kodomo BASE, we want children to learn that appearance is not proof. The way you enter a site matters just as much as what the page looks like.
