If the site is unknown, data about it should be checked using specialized WHOIS services.

You need to check the authenticity of the site before entering personal data, as well as review the page for typos and inconsistencies.
“From August 1 to September 22, 2022,There are 25,000 such fake sites around the world. On fake pages, attackers usually lure you with the opportunity to either pre-order at a discount or make a purchase before official sales start. If you enter your bank card details on such a page, the money will be debited, and the order will not be delivered,” Olga Svistunova said.
