Websites of this type in general

Pages designed to trick visitors into agreeing to receive their notifications are often called "clickbait" pages. These pages typically use deceptive tactics to convince users to allow notifications, such as offering fake rewards, making false claims, or using scare tactics.

Once a user agrees to receive notifications, the page can send push notifications to the user's device, even when the user is not actively using the page. Typically, these sites are accessed via deceptive ads, sites that use shady advertising networks (e.g., illegal movie streaming pages and torrent sites), etc.

How did trademasters*[.]xyz gain permission to deliver spam notifications?

These sites use deceptive tactics to trick visitors into agreeing to receive their notifications. Some common tactics include posing as age verification requests, offering free downloads or content, claiming that the site requires permission to play videos, or presenting misleading information that confuses the user into clicking the "Allow" button.

Once a visitor clicks "Allow", the site gains permission to show push notifications on the visitor's device. Thus, notifications from trademasters*[.]xyz sites appear because they have been allowed to show notifications.

How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?

If a website prompts you to allow notifications, do not click on the "Allow" button unless you trust the website and know what kind of notifications you will receive. Close shady pages that want to show notifications or click the "Block" (or similar) button.

If you are receiving unwanted notifications, we recommend running a scan with Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows to automatically eliminate them.
