To determine whether a website is fake or legitimate, we advise you do the following:
Check the URL link
The first step is to place your cursor over the URL address and check the validity of the web address. Look for a ‘padlock’ icon (see image below). By clicking on the ‘padlock’ you can view the Procredit Bank internet website Security Certificate. Check whether the URL starts with ‘https://’ in the address field. The letter ‘S’ means that the web address is encrypted and protected by an SSL certificate. Without the ‘https:’, all information sent to this web-location is unprotected and can be intercepted by malicious people. Beware though, this system alone is not enough to confirm security, and users are advised to exercise additional caution and consider additional evidence to ensure that a web location is secure.
Next, pay close attention to the characters included in the web address. To trick users, malicious people will keep as close as possible to real addresses, making just minor changes. A web address can start with the name of the real website’s domain but the extension ‘.rs’ may be changed to ‘.org’ or the letter ‘o’ exchanged with the number ‘0’.  Next, a web address may include additional characters and symbols that the original address does not. It is also possible to insert a fake address bar in the web browser window. Many links from these sites really can lead to a real website. Regardless, do not allow yourself to be tricked by this.
Website contents
ProCredit Bank’s official website has been professionally designed. The grammar/spelling is accurate, and it includes quality graphics. If you find yourself on a ‘phishing’ website, despite the similarities, it is certain that you will notice a difference i.e., grammar/spelling errors and a difference in the quality of graphics and resolution may lead you to conclude that have accessed a fake website. We recommend that you leave the site immediately.
A potential indicator of a ‘phishing’ website may be that it lacks a ‘contact us’ section. Official websites usually include full contact information, such as a mailing address(es), telephone number(s), e-mail address(es) and other relevant contact information. If this information is missing, we advise that you leave the website.
