• If we are going to apply for agency service, it is safer and more reliable if it is a website of that agency directly. Or is related to that agency, such as the Siam Commercial Bank website URL, is https://www.scb.co.th, URL of Siam Commercial Bank credit card products is https://www.scb.co.th/th/personal-banking/cards/credit-cards.html
• Some URLs can tell which website is registered in what country, such as https://www.scb.co.th th = Thailand, sg = Singapore, uk = England, ch = China, etc. In the case that the URL is .com .net or others that do not specify the country clearly Can check the information of that website at https://www.whois.com/whois/ which will tell where the website is registered Who owns How long has it been registered?
