Fast2captcha.com is a deceptive website that exists for a singular purpose - to try and trick PC users into subscribing to its push notification services by clicking the 'Allow' button. This particular scam has been perpetuated through a myriad of virtually identical websites, with more and more being put on the net each day. Fast2captcha.com is not an exception.

Any visitor who lands on the website will be presented with several fake or misleading messages, alerts, or error messages. The main trick employed by Fast2captcha.com and by far the most widespread one among this type of scam websites is to pretend to be conducting a captcha check for bots. Prominently displayed on the site will be an animated robot with a through bubble stating the following:

'CLICK ALLOW TO CONFIRM YOU ARE NOT A ROBOT!'

If the visitor follows the instructions, it will result in the website receiving all of the browser permissions it requires to start delivering unwanted advertisements to the user. The frequency of the ad redirects could start to interfere with the browsing experience on the affected device. Not to mention that the advertisements themselves could take the user to dubious websites for online casinos, suspicious offers for software that, in most cases, turns out to be nothing but PUPs (Potentially Unwanted Programs).

It is strongly recommended to take the appropriate actions to stop the activities of the Fast2captcha.com website as soon as possible.
