What kind of page is dollarsurvey24[.]com?

During a routine inspection of rogue websites, our researchers found the dollarsurvey24[.]com page. It is designed to load deceptive content, promote browser notification spam, and redirect visitors to other dubious/malicious sites. Most visitors to dollarsurvey24[.]com and similar webpages access them through redirects caused by sites that use rogue advertising networks.

Dollarsurvey24[.]com overview

The behavior of rogue pages (i.e., what they load/promote) can depend on the visitors' IP address/ geolocation. When we entered dollarsurvey24[.]com, it displayed a bogus survey. Mid-completion of this questionnaire, a redirect was caused to sweepstakessurvey[.]org - a page that promotes scams.

Furthermore, dollarsurvey24[.]com requests visitors to enable its browser notifications. If allowed, the website will use them to run intrusive advertisement campaigns. The displayed notifications/advertisements usually endorse online scams, untrustworthy/harmful sites and software, and in some cases - even malware.

Browser notification spam in general

Pushnotstudio[.]com, webjustpush[.]com, emolumentsurvey[.]top, and profitsurvey[.]top are just some examples of the rogue webpages we have analyzed.

The browser notifications delivered by such sites typically push dubious and malicious content. We have also observed legitimate products being promoted through these adverts as well. It is improbable that their real developers endorse them in this manner. However, scammers who abuse affiliate programs - often employ notification spam to obtain illegitimate commissions.

How did dollarsurvey24[.]com gain permission to deliver spam notifications?

You have likely visited dollarsurvey24[.]com and allowed it to display browser notifications - since sites cannot deliver them without user permission. It is noteworthy that most rogue pages use deception (e.g., clickbait, fake CAPTCHA verification, etc.) to lure visitors into allowing them to deliver advertisement campaigns.

How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?

If you enter a suspicious website, do not permit it to display browser notifications - i.e., do not press "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or analogous options. We advise ignoring or denying notification requests (i.e., clicking "Block", "Block Notifications", etc.).

Should your browser continuously force-open questionable webpages, it is likely due to installed advertising-supported software (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.

How to avoid browser notification spam?

Internet users should be very skeptical when being asked to allow notifications. While this is a useful feature that allows you to receive timely news from websites you like, deceptive marketers frequently abuse it.

Only allow notifications from websites that you fully trust. For added security - use an anti-malware application with a real-time web browsing monitor to block shady websites that tries to trick you into allowing spam notifications. We recommend using Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows.
