The Best-Lucky-Cat.xyz website is designed specifically to run various tactics in an attempt to take advantage of its visitors. It also should be noted that users are highly unlikely to open the page willingly. Instead, the dubious site could be encountered via forced redirects caused by other questionable pages using rogue advertising networks. Cybersecurity experts also warn that Best-Lucky-Cat.xyz could be promoted via intrusive PUPs (Potentially Unwanted Programs) with adware or browser hijacker capabilities.

It is possible that Best-Lucky-Cat.xyz modifies its behavior based on certain factors. Hoax websites of this type have been observed to scan the IP addresses of their visitors to ascertain their specific geolocations. Afterward, the deceptive page can decide which deceiving scenario to show each user. One of the tactics that Best-Lucky-Cat.xyz has been observed to utilize is a fake giveaway. Users will be presented with a message that they have the unique chance to win a $1000 Visa Gift Card. As pointed out earlier, the exact details could vary. For example, some users could be shown a similar tactic but this time the equally non-existent reward could be an expensive iPhone, iPad, or another Apple product that is supposedly being given as a reward by Verizon.

Naturally, none of the claims made by such untrustworthy sites should be taken at their false value. The likely goal of the fraudsters is to run phishing schemes, ask users to pay dubious fees to receive a fake prize or promote dubious and intrusive applications that could be PUPs (Potentially Unwanted Programs) in disguise.
