What kind of page is rpconcepts[.]xyz?
During our review of rpconcepts[.]xyz we found it to be a deceptive website. Once visited, it presents misleading content to lure visitors into granting it permission to show notifications. It is highly advisable not to agree to receive notifications from such pages, as it can expose users to scams and other online threats.
Rpconcepts[.]xyz in detail
On rpconcepts[.]xyz, a loading bar with a message encouraging visitors to click the "Allow" button to continue is displayed. The "Allow" button is an option a browser provides when rpconcepts[.]xyz is visited. The site implies that clicking this option is required to access it. However, doing so allows rpconcepts[.]xyz to show notifications.
The technique used by rpconcepts[.]xyz is called clickbait. Web pages that use this technique to obtain permission to show notifications cannot be trusted. If allowed, rpconcepts[.]xyz might bombard users with annoying and intrusive notifications containing fake warnings, offers, and other messages.
Moreover, interacting with these notifications can take users to web pages hosting various scams (e.g., technical support scams, fake lotteries, surveys, or giveaways). These sites can be designed to trick visitors into disclosing credit card details, login credentials, or other details and transferring money to scammers.
Also, notifications from rpconcepts[.]xyz can expose users to web pages designed to trick them into downloading shady apps or infecting their computers. Overall, trusting rpconcepts[.]xyz can result in privacy and security issues, monetary loss, identity theft, computer infections, and other problems.
For these reasons, rpconcepts[.]xyz and similar websites should never be permitted to send notifications. If such permission is already given, it should be revoked.
