There are multiple fake scenarios that con websites of this type utilize in their schemes. The most commonly encountered, and one observed to be carried out by Makemydownload.com, is to imitate performing a CAPTCHA check. The site will typically present users with an image of a robot, accompanied by some variation of the following message:
'Press Allow to verify that you are not robot.'
Users that click the corresponding button will enable the site's push notification services. In practice, this will manifest in a noticeable increase in the advertisements encountered while browsing. The intrusive advertisements can employ similar social engineering and clickbait tactics to promote additional hoax websites. They also could present users with offers to download and install various PUPs (Potentially Unwanted Programs) pretending to be legitimate applications.
