Lookalike top-level domain
Same name as the real brand with a different ending (.co, .cm, .zip, .mov instead of .com). Content uses .test as the stand-in so no real domain is referenced.
How to spot it
- Right name, different ending
- A familiar name but a registrable domain you have never used
What to do
The ending is part of the owner. A different ending is a different owner.
What the real thing looks like
- The real brand on its usual ending
