They don't invest in a platform but invest on wrong platform, a phishing site. They invest their money in Bitcoin or altcoins, not in any centralized exchange platform. However, if they use a phishing site of a centralized exchange, deposit money on it, they will lose what they deposit.

The problem starts with how did they know about that phishing site.

Did they know about it through their friends?
If so, their friends are either scammers, part of that phishing site scam team, or your friends were scammed too.

The recommendation is "Don't trust, verify"
We all can start with big websites in cryptocurrency market like Coinmarketcap.com, Coingecko.com and find information of cryptocurrency exchanges or projects.

If by 'invest' you mean websites where you send some money and they hold your Bitcoin for you with a interest of a certain percent at certain periods, someone starting out should not be doing this. I don't even recommend it for anyone at all too because you're investing through a third party.
The only platform you need is where you can buy Bitcoin and where you can store your bitcoins.

• Bookmark important websites so you don't have to always type them out,
• Verify the details of the website on who.is
• Fake websites usually change a letter or the TLD, for example the original in bitcointalk.org, a scammer will create a clone with .com instead, hoping someone will mistakenly type that out.
• Don't follow random links to locate important websites.

You can verify the website's contact information. Check out the website's customer support. Check the reputation of the website. See what other reviewers have given about it. Scam websites make very tempting and unrealistic offers. If you see the website offering you an unrealistic return on investment then ignore it.

The easiest step is to check the fake site on the platform trustpilot. You just enter the site and see what the scores and reviews are from friends there.

If you want to be even more convincing, try to investigate yourself starting from large cryptomarkets such as CMC and CG. Phishing sites are usually very similar in appearance and so on to the original site, but the URL will not be the same. So, check the URL before you decide to enter your identity or account there.

Pretty simple: only use websites(with finance in general, not only bitcoin/crypto) that are established already and have a good following with a good enough reputation. Stay away from lesser-known platforms, especially the newer ones.

Why would you be investing in a website at all? If you are buying Bitcoin, then that's your investment, not the site. If you are talking about some staking feature, those have a tendency to go bankrupt or run away with the invested money. You shouldn't do it. But if you understand the risks and don't care, well, don't cry when things go south.

Buying bitcoin isn't difficult.
Purchase it P2P or from a trusted CEX/DEX.
Move the coins to your wallet.
Hold it.
Sell it or spend it according to your own needs.

That's it. One does not need to be an expert or be "investing in a fake website."

TrustPilot is not a very reliable site to check for the legitimacy of a website - it is very easy for a scam site to buy positive feedback on TrustPilot to deceive people who don’t know how to do proper research.

If you take a look at some sites that have been reported has scam here in Bitcointalk - you’ll see that some of them still have people that constantly post positive reviews on TrustPilot meanwhile whose that have managed to maintain a good reputation here are being bombarded with negative reviews on TrustPilot - if a newbie should follow those reviews they’ll end up following a scam site.

Your answer is Bitcointalk. If someone want to invest in Bitcoin and they are not sure that which site is legit and which site is a fake one or a phishing site, they should create a thread on Bitcointalk and ask about it in that thread.

On this forum you'll get genuine information about the platforms that are legit and you can also get information about the fake platforms or phishing sites. The community is always present to help out the newbies who aren't sure about Bitcoin investment.

In this forum there's a child board named Scam Accusations where people can learn about the scam platforms, but a user need to read the threads carefully because sometimes haters also create fake scam accusations against legit platforms. However, with some reading you can understand that if a platform is a legit one or a scam one.

With all of the tips, you have to remember the most common ones. One of it is looking some small details if the website is professionally made and not, which means that if it doesn't look professional then it's already a red flag. But, don't be too confident about the professionally made because they're likely the ones that aren't noticed by most folks. Looking at the details as they've said through simple search through search engines will show you results. And best way if you're going to buy Bitcoin, do it on most common exchanges.

Many fake platforms try to scam unsuspecting users by offering them mouth watering returns for investing their Bitcoin and other crypto assets with them. So whenever you see this, just run for your life and don't go closer. Bookmark important crypto websites to minimize the chances of visiting a cloned website and avoid unsolicited PMs from strangers, they're mostly scammers trying to deceive you to invest in a fake project or to lure you to visit a phishing website.

There are many ways to detect for a fake website, but if you think you don't know any of these means, you can learn on others experience to be assured of being on the right platform, but know this that bitcoin is not required to be on any platform, you make use of p2p to acquire it and you may have to understand the way this operates under a decentralized network of blockchain, for you to be able to read broader, learn from this aspect on how to spot a fake website https://nordvpn.com/blog/fake-scam-websites/

1. If you don't fundamentally understand how something works, then it's not for you, and you shouldn't invest.
2. If the profit offer is too good, it is most likely a scam.
3. Always do your research, if that's not enough, read number 1 again

If it was actually created greatly its gonna be difficult to know if it is a fake website if you just see it the first time, I mean most of the scam websites and completely running well before they would end up shutting down and running away with your money, so there was no actual way but to do some research about the website, so that you could identify some red flags and with that you could assume its risk when putting your money or investment on it. Even here in the forum I think there was a thread of fake platforms here that you could check.

The best thing to do, is just avoid suspicious websites first, just go for a trusted website already so that you can avoid getting scammed with the hack websites, Most of the time it's on the links that we click so be mindful as well with the links that you click online because there are a lot of websites that have similar links but the different domain you might end up clicking the wrong one. The next one is getting too good-to-be-true deals, most of the time if a website promises a huge amount that is already a red flag since it wasn't going to be profitable for them to run and give that much of money. Lastly is always be updated with the community, I mean hackers and scammers are trying new methods and creating new websites everytime just trying to scam you so make sure to be updated with the community, like here in the forum there are a lot of topics here for awareness of new types of scam or modus etc.

there are many phishing websites created by scammers to deceive potential bitcoin investors. usually they make this website very similar to the original, and therefore visitors need to be careful and always verify whether the website is really a credible and trusted website or in accordance with the platform they are visiting. users should be able to use several tools such as web advisors to see whether the website is genuine or they can check the legitimacy of the website by discussing it in forums, and there are many other ways that users can do to prevent themselves from being scammed or hacked.

Most of the newbies do not have much knowledge about cryptos and phishing sites. So for me, as a newbie, you should always DYOR and ask about the site if it's legit or not you can ask it here or bring it to Reddit and any crypto-related forums.
Because that is the best source to know if the site where you invest is legit or not.

Also, take note of the site registered date because most of the newly published sites are scams.

Keep your bitcoins offline, if you have your wallet in the same device that you use to browse the internet and visit lots of websites, then you can possibly lose your money. To download crypto wallets and stuffs, do not do it through playstore or app store, download them through their original website.

Your coins is never safe if you keep it in the same device you use to browse the internet and visit different websites, such as adult sites for example. Even if you get into the correct websites, your device can be infected with malwares when you visit such sites.

You can check the reputation of the website on scamadviser.com. They show a detailed analysis of the website as well as reviews of other people. You can then make an informed decision about the website. It usually comes out like this:

My question is that how can someone dictate a fake website? because is getting too much, is there anyway the comonas need to know things like this if there is any.

But a website is not made for investment, so why do you have to invest in any website? If you see anyone asking you to invest in any website, you should know it’s a scam, so you don’t even have to identify any scam websites. You can learn more about bitcoin on different websites, but you should never invest your money in any website.
 
If you want to invest, then visit any reputable exchange, purchase your bitcoin from the exchange, and send your bitcoin to a non custodial wallet. Never leave your bitcoin even on exchange, no matter how reputable the exchange is. Any exchange can fail at any moment, and if you have money in the exchange, then everything will be gone.

If you are not good at recognizing scam sites, it is best to ask in communities like this one - before you decide to invest money.  People here can be a great resource for spotting red flags.
