    Thank you for sharing this important warning, Imran. It’s crucial to stay vigilant regarding websites like these, especially since phishing attacks and malware are becoming increasingly sophisticated. For anyone looking for safe alternatives or additional ways to protect their data, enabling security features on your browser, such as anti-phishing and anti-malware protections, is a good starting point. Also, consider using trusted, reputable sources to access digital resources and ensure your information remains secure.
