(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); This guide will help you protect your account, whether it may be for a gaming website (such as runescape) or a social website like facebook.

Let's get started.

What is a phishing?
Phishing is a way of attempting to acquire sensitive information such as usernames, passwords and credit card details by masquerading as a trustworthy entity in an electronic communication.

How do you protect yourself from phishers?
- Always check the url:
You must login or register to view this content.

Make sure it says .com not .tk or any other website hosting address.

- Look for ads
If they have more ads then usual on their website then it will most likely be fake.

Always report phishing websites
- If you think that the current website your on is a phishing website follow my steps to report it:

1) Go to this website: You must login or register to view this content.

2) Fill out the information.

3) Click submit report.

In conclusion, I hope this guide will help protect your most valuable accounts on whatever website it is!

Thanks for reading and stay safe Awesome face
