The internet and apps have their benefits, but they also come with hidden dangers. There's no need to be too scared, but the more things seem to be okay, the more important it is to have the ability to stop and think.
Just because it looks real doesn't mean it's safe, so I tell them that they need the ability to see if a URL or word feels strange.
Difficult to distinguish by appearance alone
Fake sites these days are often designed to look just like the real thing, both in color and logo. That's why you can't protect yourself by saying, "It's okay because it looks like that."
What you need to look at is the details
It will help if you notice things like the spelling of URLs, strange Japanese, screens that suddenly ask for input, and the lack of contact information. If you feel even one thing is not right, it is safer to return instead of proceeding immediately.
When you open a site, look at the spelling of the URL before looking at the content on the screen.
At Digital Kodomo BASE, we value being able to discern and choose rather than being afraid. Safety is not something you have to endure, but rather a power that you can use effectively over a long period of time.
