HTTPS means nothing. All sites are HTTPS these days. If your only check for a scam is that then you're fucked
Correct, which is why you primarily need to check the URL and particularly the domain. I mention HTTPS because if you're on the right domain and it's not HTTPS when it should be, you're most likely getting MITM'd or another such attack is being used.
