A link from FB to an eventbrite.com.au event came up with a warning in my browser (Chrome Canary 88.0.4319.0) that the site looks suspicious, saying [paraphrased]:

"Did you mean eventbrite.com? Some sites try to spoof addresses by making small hard-to-spot differences in the url"

After restarting my browser (nightly update) I got the message again, so this time without paraphrasing:


Did you mean eventbrite.com?

The site that you just tried to visit looks fake. Attackers sometimes mimic sites by making small, hard-to-see changes to the URL.
