These websites display browser notifications that promote deceptive and malicious content. Note that any genuine products/services encountered through these advertisements are most likely endorsed by scammers who abuse their affiliate programs to obtain illegitimate commissions.

Websites can only deliver browser notifications with user consent. Hence, you've likely entered fondsmoney[.]com at some point and permitted the ad delivery by clicking "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or an analogous option displayed on this webpage.
How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?
It is important to be selective when enabling websites to display browser notifications. Suspicious pages must not be permitted to deliver these adverts. We advise denying notification delivery from such webpages (i.e., pressing "Block", "Block Notifications", etc.) or ignoring these requests altogether.
In case of continuous unprompted redirects to dubious sites, check the browser and system for installed adware. If your computer is already infected with rogue applications, we recommend running a scan with Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows to automatically eliminate them.
