The Financesurvey.site utilizes clickbait messages to lure users into completing a bogus survey, while also trying to convince them to subscribe to its push notification services. The particular scheme seen on Financesurvey.site is not unique and can be encountered on other untrustworthy pages of this type.

Once the page is opened, it displays bold statements about providing visitors with the secret to becoming a millionaire by the end of the current year, solely through an online career. Before users can learn about this way-too-good-to-be-real method, they are asked to complete a survey. The operators of the page could then use this opportunity to run a phishing scheme by harvesting all entered information or causing unwanted redirects to other equally as suspicious websites.

While on the page, users also would be asked to click the shown 'Allow' button. This will enable Financesurvey.site's push notifications. Hoax websites abuse this otherwise legitimate browser feature to deliver intrusive and unwanted advertisements to users. The advertisements are more than likely going to promote shady game platforms, gambling sites or adult-oriented services. Users also can be presented with offers to download and install applications that have hidden adware, browser hijacker or data-tracking functionalities.
