Fraudulent online page
A fake website is a fraudulent site designed to mimic a legitimate one, typically to steal personal information, login credentials, or payment details.
Phishing scams often direct victims to fake websites that closely replicate banks, retailers, or social media platforms: I almost entered my password before noticing the URL was slightly off—it was a fake website.
The term also covers sites that exist solely to spread misinformation or collect ad revenue through deceptive content.
