News-caloto.cc is a rogue website designed for the sole purpose of delivering dubious content to its visitors. The fraudsters rely on tricking users into subscribing to the page's push notifications and then being subjected to various intrusive advertisements. Furthermore, News-caloto.cc also could cause unwanted redirects to other potentially dubious websites.
To conduct its scheme, the page displays numerou, misleading messages. The goal is to convince users that clicking on the shown 'Allow' button will have a different result than what is going to happen in reality. One of the most popular scenarios involves the dubious page pretending to be doing a CAPTCHA check. When it comes to News-caloto.cc specifically, users may be presented with messages similar to:
'Browser check in progress'
'To gain access, click on the button 'Allow'
'Click on the button 'Allow'
As it can be seen, the con page implies that by pressing the button, users should expect to gain access to additional content. Instead, they would be giving important browser permissions to the site. News-caloto.cc will then be able to deliver questionable and intrusive advertisements to the user's system.
Generally, it is strongly recommended to avoid any interaction with the advertisements generated by such unproven and unfamiliar sources. Users risk being shown offers to download suspicious PUPs (Potentially Unwanted Programs) or redirected to other hoax pages, fake giveaways, phishing schemes and even unsafe websites spreading malware payloads.
