The content endorsed on and through rogue websites might vary depending on the visitor's IP address/ geolocation. When we investigated the bumperskiner[.]com page, we found that it has two appearances. They use fake CAPTCHA tests to lure visitors into enabling the webpage to display browser notifications.
To elaborate, one variant depicted an image of a purple robot beside text instructing to – "Click 'Allow' if you are not a robot". The other contained a bogus image test, above which were the instructions to – "Select a robot and click 'Allow' to continue".

Browser notification spam in general
We have analyzed thousands of rogue websites; dm*.biz, asnzvu[.]com, trademasters*.xyz, and uponwarmth[.]com are just a few examples of our newest finds. These pages display browser notifications that push deceptive and malicious content.
Note that while legitimate products/services can be encountered through these adverts – they are highly unlikely to be promoted in this manner by their developers. It is most probable that this endorsement is performed by scammers who abuse the content's affiliate programs in order to acquire illegitimate commissions.

Websites cannot display browser notifications (advertisements) without user consent. Therefore, if you are receiving this content from bumperskiner[.]com – it means that you have likely entered this page at some point and selected "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or a similar option.
How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?
If you access a dubious webpage – do not enable it to deliver browser notifications. In other words, do not click "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or any analogous options presented on such sites.

Should your browser continuously force-open suspicious websites without prompt, it could be caused by the presence of adware on 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.
