Browser notification spam in general
We have examined thousands of rogue sites; dr23[.]biz, creritaprets[.]com, and earthshaper[.]top are just a couple of our latest articles. Despite their varying appearance, the purpose of these webpages is the same – to trick visitors into allowing browser notification delivery.
Spam notifications promote deceptive and malicious content. While legitimate products or 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 endorsement is undertaken by scammers who abuse the promoted content's affiliate programs to acquire illegitimate commissions.

User consent is necessary for any website to deliver browser notifications. Hence, if you are seeing these adverts from bellpepa.co[.]in – it means that when this webpage was accessed, permission for their delivery was granted by selecting "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or an analogous option.
How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?
It is essential to be selective when permitting sites to deliver browser notifications. Suspect pages must not be enabled to display these ads; instead, such requests have to be ignored or denied (i.e., by pressing "Block", "Block Notifications", etc.).
In case of continuous unprompted redirects to questionable websites, inspect 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.
