Most users access such webpages via redirects generated by sites that utilize rogue advertising networks. Our researchers discovered fmqrsj[.]com during a routine inspection of websites that employ said networks.

Fmqrsj[.]com overview

It must be mentioned that the behavior of rogue webpages may be determined by the visitor's IP address (geolocation). In other words, this information might dictate the content encountered on and through such pages.

When we visited fmqrsj[.]com, it stated "CONGRATULATIONS! YOU WON A $50 GIFT CARD! IT'S TIME TO [go] SHOPPING!" and instructed to – "Click Allow to receive the prize and redeem [it] in our store!". These claims are false – the user has not won any gift cards or other prizes.

Browser notification spam in general

We have analyzed thousands of rogue websites; canettech[.]com, coreforger[.]top, nvideas[.]site, bestpenad[.]com, and yourscivnow[.]com are merely some examples. These pages may appear legitimate/harmless, yet their notifications promote deceptive and malicious content.

Note that while genuine products and services may be encountered via these advertisements – they are unlikely to be endorsed in this manner by any official parties. It is most probable that this promotion is undertaken by scammers who abuse the content's affiliate programs to obtain illegitimate commissions.

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

Websites can only display browser notifications with user consent. Hence, you've likely accessed fmqrsj[.]com at some point and clicked "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or a similar option presented on this webpage – thus enabling the advert delivery.

Keep in mind that rogue sites often use deception (e.g., giveaways/prizes, clickbait, fake CAPTCHA verification, adult-oriented content, etc.) to trick visitors into enabling notifications.

How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?

To avoid receiving unwanted browser notifications – do not permit questionable webpages to deliver them. In other words, do not click "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or any analogous options displayed on such pages. We advise denying notification delivery – i.e., selecting "Block", "Block Notifications", etc. – or ignoring these requests altogether.

Should your browser continuously force-open suspicious websites unprompted, it could be due to adware installed on it or the system. If your computer is already infected with rogue applications, we recommend running a scan with Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows to automatically eliminate them.
