Have you ever wondered if you're looking at a real website or a copy set up as a scam ?
How would you know ?

Try this.

In Internet Explorer:

Create a new favourite and name it Real URL or something (use this webpage, you will change the address in a moment).

Ie: Favourites menu, Add favourite.

Then right click on the new favourite in the Favourites menu and select Properties.

In the properties box that appears, select the Web Document Tab, cut n paste this script into the URL box in place of the address that is already there and click OK.

javascript:alert("The real URL of this site is: " + location.protocol + "//" + location.hostname + "/");


The script will then run when you select that favourite and tell you the REAL website address.
