Videoplay-on.com is a deceptive website that is not interested in providing any meaningful service to its visitors. Instead, its creators aim to take advantage of any visitor through popular online tactics. It is likely that users who land on Videoplay-on.com will encounter clickbait or deceptive messages instructing them to click the displayed 'Allow' button.
This particular scheme exploits the legitimate push notifications feature. The rogue website will hide its intentions behind various false scenarios. When users click the button, they will unknowingly be subscribed to the page's push notifications. The dubious site will then be able to run an intrusive advertising campaign. Videoplay-on.com could deliver advertisements promoting additional hoax pages, phishing portals, fake giveaways and other untrustworthy destinations. Users also should be warned that interacting with con pages, such as Videoplay-on.com and their associated advertisements could trigger forced redirects. Indeed, cybersecurity experts have confirmed that pressing 'Allow' could take users to a practically identical hoax website at 'hipnoticrec.biz.'
One of the most commonly used tactics by sites running this hoax is to pretend to be doing a CAPTCHA check. Users will be shown messages such as 'Click Allow to verify that you are not a robot' or 'Click Allow to continue.' However, the hoax site also may claim that pressing the button will grant users access to a video or that a file will become available for download. Users should never follow the instructions of unfamiliar or random websites that they have encountered while browsing the Internet.
