What kind of page is savingm[.]com?
While inspecting shady websites, we discovered the savingm[.]com page. This rogue webpage promotes deceptive material, pushes browser notification spam, and redirects visitors to other (likely untrustworthy/malicious) sites. Most users enter websites like savingm[.]com through redirects caused by pages using rogue advertising networks.
Savingm[.]com overview
The behavior of rogue pages (i.e., what they host/endorse) might depend on the visitors' IP addresses/ geolocations. Once we accessed savingm[.]com, it presented us with a scam promising an easy way to obtain a $5000 loan. When pressed the "CONTINUE" button, it resulted in a redirect to a phishing site targeting email addresses and potentially other sensitive information as well.
Additionally, savingm[.]com requested visitors to enable it to display browser notifications. Rogue webpages employ them to run intrusive advertisement campaigns. These notifications/adverts promote unreliable/harmful websites and software, online scams, and even malware.
To summarize, through sites like savingm[.]com - users can experience system infections, severe privacy issues, financial losses, and identity theft.

Browser notification spam in general
We have analyzed countless rogue webpages; saveprivatedata[.]com, swooflia[.]xyz, and mediaforyour[.]com are just a couple of examples.
The notifications such websites deliver primarily endorse deceptive and malicious content. Note that any legitimate products encountered via these ads are highly unlikely to be promoted by their actual developers. In fact, notification spam is popular among scammers who abuse genuine product affiliate programs to obtain illegitimate commissions for their endorsement.
How did savingm[.]com gain permission to deliver spam notifications?
Websites deliver browser notifications only if users permit them to do so. If you are receiving these advertisements from savingm[.]com, it is likely that you visited this page and pressed "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or an analogous option presented on it. By selecting such an option, you consented to the browser notification delivery.
How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?
To avoid seeing unwanted browser notifications, we advise against permitting suspicious websites to display them. In other words, do not click "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or any similar options presented on dubious webpages. Instead, we recommend ignoring or denying notification delivery requests (i.e., pressing "Block", "Block Notifications", etc.).
If you experience rogue unprompted redirects to questionable sites, it might be caused by the presence of adware on the browser or system. If your computer is already infected with rogue applications, we recommend running a scan with Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows to automatically eliminate them.
