"Alert! Phishing attempt!" would be my first thought on reading the second URL. I would click on the first one, though.

- adamo 17y agoYou would because you are Greek and understand it. But what if it was Cyrillic or Chinese instead?
- Manolis 17y agoA domain in non-english characters communicates that the site has a high chance of being written in a non-english language. Since I do not understand neither Cyrillic nor Chinese, I would probably not click on any of them. Except: 1)...If I would really need to click on them (i.e. import some goods from China) in which case I would click on link and visit the site hoping that there is some kind of english description. 2)If I saw the link on Google (i.e. a search engine that I trust) and saw in the excerpt that there is some sort of legitimate description, it would be more likely that I would follow the link.
