After analysis, our team has determined that forexpulse[.]site is a fraudulent website aimed at deceiving visitors into granting notification permissions. Once allowed, the site can send misleading notifications to direct users to unreliable websites. Thus, it is recommended to avoid this page.
Forexpulse[.]site in detail
On forexpulse[.]site, a Play button with a message instructing visitors to press "Allow" to watch the video is presented. The page implies that clicking "Allow" is required to access its content. In reality, clicking this button (an option from a web browser) permits forexpulse[.]site to send notifications.
Sites that use clickbait to obtain permission to show notifications should never be granted this permission. They can send deceptive notifications (e.g., fake warnings) to promote various scams, potentially malicious software, and other untrustworthy web pages. For instance, clicking them can direct users to technical support scams.
These scams are usually designed to trick users into paying for fake services (or products), disclosing personal information, or providing remote access to computers. Also, sites like forexpulse[.]site can show notifications crafted to promote fake lotteries, giveaways, surveys, etc.
Additionally, interacting with such notifications can expose users to explicit content and malware. Therefore, it is highly advisable not to grant forexpulse[.]site permission to deliver notifications and remove this permission if it is already given. Instructions on how to achieve it can be found below.
