You presumably rely on several indicators that you have learned to look for when doing this type of work. There are several indicators in an URL that indicate the likelihood of it being legit, including proper spelling, valid SSL, reasonable path given the activity etc.

You presumably rely on brands, yes? Same with the URL, make sure it is in fact the 'brand' you're looking for. Am not saying it's 100% foolproof as buying counterfeits isn't hard either. But at least do the bare minimum to check.



Yep, I do make some kind of checks. Mostly I rely on the label and brand though. And TrickURI is a kind of label verifier.

To make sure I'm not accidentally buying H0me D3p0t brand nomex.
