Exactofferslink[.]com overview

It must be mentioned that the behavior of rogue pages might depend on the visitor's IP address (geolocation). In other words, the content encountered on and via such websites can vary based on said data.

We found two appearance variants of exactofferslink[.]com; the first ran the "Google Membership Rewards" scam, while the second promoted one similar to "SPIN FOR REWARD", "BLACK WEEK Lottery", "Millionaire (Миллионером)", and thousands of others.

It must be emphasized that any legitimate entities mentioned in these schemes are not associated with them. Typically, the reward/lottery model is used as a phishing scam or operates by attempting to deceive visitors into transferring money (e.g., paying fake fees, etc.). The former tend to target log-in credentials (usernames/passwords), personally identifiable information, and/or finance-related data (credit card numbers, etc.).

Furthermore, both versions of exactofferslink[.]com request visitors to allow it to display browser notifications. The displayed advertisements promote online scams, untrustworthy/harmful software, and malware.

Browser notification spam in general

We have analyzed thousands of rogue webpages; onesoftwareupdater[.]com, full-mark[.]xyz, mysecuritydatabase[.]live - are merely a couple of examples.

These sites endorse online scams and malicious content. It is pertinent to mention that any legitimate products pushed through these adverts are unlikely to be promoted by their actual developers. Instead, this endorsement is undertaken by scammers abusing the content's affiliate programs in order to obtain illegitimate commissions.

How did exactofferslink[.]com gain permission to deliver spam notifications?

Websites need user permission to deliver browser notifications (ads). Therefore, you have likely entered exactofferslink[.]com and consented by clicking "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or a similar option presented on this page.

How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?

To avoid receiving unwanted browser notifications, do not permit dubious sites to deliver them (i.e., do not press "Allow", "Allow Notifications", etc.). Instead, ignore or deny notification delivery requests (i.e., click "Block", "Block Notifications", etc.).

Should your browser continuously force-open suspicious websites (e.g., exactofferslink[.]com, etc.) without prompt, it could be due to adware installed onto the device. If your computer is already infected with rogue applications, we recommend running a scan with Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows to automatically eliminate them.
