Chosenlove[.]com overview
The behavior of rogue webpages (i.e., what they load/endorse) may be determined by visitors' IP addresses/ geolocations.
When we accessed chosenlove[.]com, it presented us with a questionable survey, which upon completion redirected to another site that likely operates as a phishing scam.
