Hello guys, I just want to share how to avoid pishing sites, sometime ago my friend lost ETH and some tokens in his wallet, after hearing the chronology, I concluded because he was careless, he doesn't see the site link that he clicks on and enters the private key.
Phishing site methods is easy to avoid, provided you are always skeptical and apply the precautionary principle to anything you find on the internet.
 
Phishing site usually have the following characteristics:
1. Derived from a source that seemed reliable.
2. Contains messages that arouse emotions, whether panic, joy, or fear.
3. Contains links and/or attachments that the recipient must click on.
4. Asking you to fill in some data.
5. similar websites (make sure to check every link you visit)

prevention is the best step, if our bank account data or online wallet is hacked, of course we cant do anything, even if we succeed in taking over our wallet, of course our balance will be lost.
