So always be careful when visiting and trying some unfamiliar websites, always do research about it and read some reviews to assure yourself that it is legit.

I think that's not the point because the scammers are copying another legit website which I think people have already done researched in and that is how people was getting fooled. This is just one of those classic phishing. One people should look into is the credentials of the website and if the certificate is legit. That is how people will know if that is a fake website or not. Also, always save your website so you won't get fooled.

Just for a count they are not copying other's website, they are simply altering the names of brand so it would look very much alike to the original one on which I think gullible people are always prone to falling into. This is a classic phishing scam that's why companies now are not just buying a single domain for their websites, they are also buying possible alteration of their website name. I haven't encountered being scammed by this kind of phishing website because I always use a bookmark in web pages.

Yes, it's the same. They are copying the name, the brand and everything that the original have in order to fool the users so I stand by my argument that they are copying. Also, I don't think they are buying alternative domain for their website because that would confuse the users more. They are more like trying to promote their only website so the users can just bookmark it and don't be fooled by other fakes.
