Stop Cyber Frauds.. Share & help. Fraud Internet Websites and Phishing knowledge 1. Before checking name of any website, first look for the domain extension i.e .com,  .org,  .co.in,  .net,  .in etc. The name just before extension is the *DOMAIN NAME* of the website.  Eg: www.domainname.com E.g., in http://amazon.diwali-festivals.com, the word before .com is *"diwali-festivals"* (and NOT "amazon").  *AMAZON* word is seperated with ( . ) dot So, this webpage *does _not_ belong to amazon.com*, but it belongs to *"diwali-festivals.com"*, which most of us haven't heard of before. You can similarly check for fraudulent (so-called) banking websites. Before your e-banking login, make sure that the name just before ".com" is the name of your bank.  Eg: "something.icicibank.com"  belongs to +ICICI*,  but "icicibank.something.com" belongs to something and not icicibank. "icicibank.com.nu"  belongs to &q

Supreme Court in the case of Rakesh Mohindra Vs.Anita Beri and Ors., reported in 2016 ALL SCR 1 has held that the party who seeks to lead secondary evidence has to lay down the factual foundation to establish the right to give secondary evidence where the original document cannot be produced. It is held that neither mere admission of a document in evidence amounts to its proof nor mere making of an exhibit of a document dispenses with its proof, which is otherwise required to be done i
