Compare two sites

Paste the link you were sent and the brand it claims to be.

AboutUs puts the two domains side by side — registration, DNS, HTTPS, email authentication, and Authority/Safety — so you can see what's actually different before you click through.

Only the two web addresses are looked up — nothing else you type anywhere else on AboutUs is sent with this.

What to do next

Go to the brand's site by typing the address yourself, or use a bookmark you saved before — never the link from the message. If you already clicked through and entered anything, act on it now:

  • Your bank or card issuerAlready paid or shared card details? Call the number on your card and ask to dispute the charge or freeze the card — do this first, before anything else here.
  • FTC — reportfraud.ftc.gov The US Federal Trade Commission takes consumer fraud reports here. Outside the US, your country's consumer-protection agency is the equivalent.
  • Google Safe Browsing Report a phishing or malware page so Chrome, Firefox, and Safari can warn the next person who visits it.
