This bitcointalk.to is really dangerous. The site looks the same.
What I do is to use Bitcointalk only in trusted devices, and I use the option"always logged in", so I don't need to login again.
When I visit this Bitcointalk.to I see that I am not logged in, so I easily identify the phishing.

The quickest and easiest way to forever avoid getting phished by this site is to add it to your hosts file. By doing this, your browser will refuse to open the fake site.

I agree with you, you should be careful when clicking on any link even if it was the first result appears when doing a Google search.
Prevention is better than cure. Checking the site, installing extensions"metamask," visiting websites using official links will save you from scammers.
As for the site you mentioned"bitcointalk.TO," it does not seem to be a scam site, though I do not recommend visiting it and staying away from it.
There are a lot of discussions about that site you can find some here:[1][2]
[1] Request: add bitcointalk.TO to [phishing] list
[2] Is Bitcointalk.to same of Bitcointalk.org ?

Fortunately, the .to version of this forum you reference has been down for a couple of months. Although it is just an example case, it was likely one of the main reasons people were getting their accounts hacked here, after feeding their legit credentials on the .to site, and thus handing them over to the hackers behind the site.
Metamask is useful for this (although classifying the .to version of this site as a Ethereum relate Phising site is a bit weird), and some ISPs are offering their own phishing site blocking solutions for their network subscribers for free, with no installation requirements (at least in my country), which is an inherent protection mechanism.

Good thing the advertiser forgot his credits are being wasted on a non-functioning site. But still, gotta report that ad to Google.

I was going through the internet and got a scam bitcointalk site. Be safe from these sites as it may contain a virus and snatch your data.
You can see it is not even detected by McAfee antivirus. It is showing a green tick mark.
You will not find any differences in both of it but if you look closely on it check out the ending fake one ends with ( .to ) and the real one ends with ( .org ). IF you have installed metamask then probably you will not be fooled as these sites are in the blacklist of metamask.
I suggest you all to install Cryptonite or MetaMask. They always will help you keep you away from these fake sites.
