How do you tell if a website was generated by AI to steal your info?

AI-generated websites look real but have small tells: generic photos that look artificial, placeholder text, broken links, or an address and phone number that don't match the company. Check the domain name, look for the padlock icon, and verify the website address matches the company's real site.

A scammer uses AI to generate a complete fake website that looks like a real company — say, a bank or a popular store. The site takes hours to build instead of weeks. They spend money on ads so people find the fake site before the real one. When you enter your username and password or credit card number, it goes straight to the scammer. AI-generated websites often have subtle flaws: photos that look oddly perfect but somehow off, product descriptions that are slightly generic, or contact information that doesn't check out. The best defense is to check the domain name carefully, look for the padlock icon, and never log in from a link you found on Google.
