chotorexsurvey[.]space in detail
Chotorexsurvey[.]space displays a fake survey titled "Winner Test" that claims to determine which online business could make visitors billionaires by 2023. It invites visitors to take the free test and promises to reveal how they can make money online and become the wealthiest people in their city.
It is worth noting that fake surveys are usually created to trick people into providing personal information such as credit card details, phone numbers, email addresses, etc., and (or) paying money. They typically lure victims with promises of prizes, gift cards, or other incentives in exchange for completing a survey.
In addition to displaying deceptive content, chotorexsurvey[.]space wants to show notifications. Once notifications are allowed, the page can display ads, pop-ups, and other unwanted content on the user's desktop or mobile device. These notifications can be used to deliver unwanted programs or malware or redirect users to phishing and other untrustworthy pages.
Thus, chotorexsurvey[.]space should not be trusted or allowed to display notifications.
