Phishing websites are made to look exactly like the real thing. They are intended to trick people into thinking they are viewing a popular website (perhaps a shopping site, email, credit card provider, etc.) that they probably use. If the person logs in at the phony website, the phishers will get their user name and password, which allows the criminals to use that login information on the real site.
The best way to avoid getting fooled by a phishing website is to always enter the complete URL of any site you visit.
The srfoosecars.com website certainly looks dodgy and it is most likely a fraud (possibly a phishing site).
You know that phishing is illegal and counts as a felony right? But whatever, phishing is the act of redirecting a browser to a fake website where it asks for confindential information.
a website that's trying to scam you into giving your credit card number, e-mail, etc.

Such a website is usually called a "phishing website" because users are usually sent to them via a phishing message. It can also be legitimately called a "malicious website" because the information harvested from it is then usually used as part of an identity theft.
You do not need software to make a phishing website. You simply need a web server and an identical copy of the website in question (with a few changes so the data in the fields go to you). I can't describe it as it is illegal in most countries.
absolutely not. It is a phishing and credit card scam site.
No. Antivirus programs ONLY protect you from viruses. Phishing is the process of redirecting your browser to a fake website that looks like it is legit. For example, you want to go on Facebook but instead get redirected to a scam website. It looks like Facebook, even feels like Facebook, but it's not Facebook. It will ask you to login to your profile. Of course you will type in your username and password and expect to be logged in. The fake website will collect the data you put into the entry fields and then redirect you to the actual website where you will be logged in for real. The data that got recorded from you will be sent to a hacker and now the security of your profile is at risk. That is a good example of phishing, except that hackers use it to steal your bank account information by redirecting you to a fake banking website.
The website www.turko.ca looks professional. The website is about Digital Marketing Consulting.
Yes. because that is someones personal informaion and they are decribing them self on that website.
Phishing means trying to gain someones personal or financial details through hacking. Pharming means redirecting a websites traffic to another bogus website. (also hacking)
