Spoof Check
Here's a simple but effective tool in the fight against phishing and ultimately, identity theft.

Save this as a toolbar bookmark (a bookmarklet), and use it to check if you've visited a "spoofed" site or not.

tip: left-click and drag this site's url icon to your toolbar, then right-click it to edit its properties, and change the "location" to contain the code below, and the "name" to Spoof Check.


javascript:alert("The actual URL is:\t\t" + location.protocol + "//" + location.hostname + "/" + "\nThe address URL is:\t\t" + location.href + "\n" + "\nIf the server names do not match, this may be a spoof.");
