That cursed link in an old forum post sent me to a fake bank login page

Found it on a retro gaming thread at 2am. Clicked a link about save file editors. Page looked perfect, logo and all. Typed my info before noticing the URL was a string of numbers. Bank locked my account for 3 days. Anyone else almost fall for a lookalike domain?

Bookmark your bank's real URL and always type it in yourself, I do that now after a fake Steam login page got me last year. Also check the lock icon in the address bar, these scam sites almost never have the right SSL cert.
