Sweepstakessurvey.org

Sweepstakessurvey.org is a deceiving website designed to deliver questionable content to its visitors. Its behavior is virtually indistinguishable from all the other similarly deceptive websites created with the same nefarious goals in mind. The site can show dubious content, cause redirects to other deceptive pages, or show misleading messages in an attempt to lure visitors into subscribing to its push notification services.

What exactly will be shown to the users depends on their geolocation. Sweepstakessurvey.org determines this factor by analyzing the incoming IP addresses. Users should be warned that the site has been observed to run fake giveaway scams. It shows fake messages trying to convince users into taking a quiz, which will supposedly make them eligible to win a reward. To put further pressure on its victims, Sweepstakessurvey.org shows a timer after which the offer will expire.

Other users may see similarly manipulative messages that tell them to click the displayed Allow button under various pretenses. These may include a fake CAPTCHA check, claims that a file will become available for download, or that users will gain access to further content. Users who click the button will then find themselves flooded by intrusive advertisements generated by the con website. It is advised to use caution when dealing with the advertisements, as they may redirect to suspicious or outright unsafe places such as phishing pages, domains spreading PUPs, or even compromised sites delivering actual malware threats.

To stop Sweepstakessurvey.org from interfering with their browsing, users will need to revoke all of the permissions they had granted to the site inadvertently. Fortunately, this should not be too difficult, as it can typically be achieved by visiting either the 'Permissions' or 'Notifications' section of your Web browser's settings.
