What kind of page is creritaprets[.]com?

After reviewing creritaprets[.]com, we found it to be a fraudulent site designed to trick users into allowing it to send notifications. It employs a clickbait technique to accomplish this. To minimize the risk of online threats, users should avoid visiting sites like creritaprets[.]com (and never permit them to show notifications).

Creritaprets[.]com in detail

Creritaprets[.]com displays a message instructing visitors to click "Allow" to confirm that they are not robots. The site implies that clicking "Allow" (a button that a browser displays once the page is visited) is required to pass a CAPTCHA. However, clicking this button/option permits creritaprets[.]com to show notifications.

Our analysis has shown that notifications from creritaprets[.]com are deceptive. They claim that someone is downloading files from the user's computer and urge them to respond using the given options. These notifications can also contain other fake warnings, alerts, and similar messages. Clicking them can direct users to various scams and potentially malicious websites.

Notifications from creritaprets[.]com could lead users to tech support scams crafted to trick them into paying for fake services (or products), downloading malicious software, sharing private data, or granting scammers access to their devices. Also, users may land on phishing websites designed to extract login details (e.g., usernames and passwords), credit card details, or other data.

Additionally, users may end up on sites that distribute malicious software and promote fake lotteries, giveaways, fraudulent surveys, or other schemes. Therefore, it is strongly recommended not to allow creritaprets[.]com to send notifications and remove this permission if it has already been granted.

How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?

If a shady website requests permission to send notifications, exit the site or decline the request by choosing options such as "Block", "Block Notifications", or "Deny" (depending on a browser). Exercise caution with websites that urge you to click "Allow" to bypass CAPTCHAs, download files, verify your age, or play videos.
