Directoffers.xyz lures its visitors with promises of gift cards worth $50. Unfortunately, for the people that encounter this dubious page, its messages are mostly fake and exist solely as a part of a popular browser-based tactic. Indeed, the website has been classified as belonging to hoax pages abusing the legitimate push notifications browser feature.

These sites rely heavily on misleading and deceptive messages to hide their real intentions. Users are often presented with fake CAPTCHA checks, claims that a video is encountering issues, or that a file is ready for download. However, to proceed to the mentioned content, users will first need to press the 'Allow' button.

What Directoffers.xyz and the countless other websites of this type do not state clearly, is that by pressing the button users will be subscribed to the specific page's push notification services. In practice, this fact will manifest in a significant increase in the advertisements seen while browsing. Advertisements related to such suspicious sources are rarely legitimate. Instead, they could promote more untrustworthy destinations, such as phishing portals, suspicious adult-oriented platforms or sites spreading intrusion PUPs (Potentially Unwanted Programs). PUPs are annoying programs spread via underhanded distribution techniques and are often equipped with adware, browser hijacker and data-harvesting capabilities.
