What would you think when you encounter a Web page named Freeiphone.info? That it is running some kind of a promotion that gives Iphones as a reward? Well, this couldn't be further from the truth. The name of the website is as deceptive as the rest of the content it delivers. After all, the sole reason that Freeiphone.info exists is to run a popular browser-based tactic.

These hoax pages try to trick visitors into subscribing to their push notification services under various false pretenses. The clickbait and misleading messages could create the impressions that the page is doing a CAPTCHA check or that additional content will become available. Curiously, no matter what the exact text of the message is, it will always urge users to click the displayed 'Allow' button:

'Click 'Allow' if you are not a robot'

'To watch video, click 'Allow'

'Click 'Allow' to download file'

Freeiphone.info will abuse the browser permissions granted to it to run an intrusive ad campaign. The advertisements could impact the browsing experience on the device drastically. More importantly, they may be promoting suspicious software products, PUPs (Potentially Unwanted Programs), other hoax websites, phishing pages, shady online gaming platforms and other untrustworthy destinations.
