Survey Questions
These 5 signs or hints indicate whether a website is trustworthy or not are:
-
There is no https:// in the address bar, implying that the information inputted won't be transmitted safely.
-
It is strange if the URL doesn’t match the name of the link.
-
It is highly suspicious if a site requests for a PIN number, since websites never require that kind of information.
-
A website might be illegitimate if it doesn’t have a privacy or returns policy.
-
The website can be untrustworthy if the user doesn’t have the option to contact to issue a problem.
Always remember these points in order to detect an untrustworthy website.
