Watchvideo.cc presents itself as a site that will provide users with some video content; after all its name clearly indicates so. Unfortunately, this is not the main priority of the page. Instead, it appears to have been created primarily as a way for its operators to run various online tactics. One of the schemes confirmed to be used by the page takes advantage of the legitimate push notifications feature as a way to deliver unwanted advertisements to users.
The exact scenario shown by Watchvideo.cc may vary from user to user, based on specific factors, such as IP address, geolocation and possibly others. Commonly, dubious pages, such as this one, pretend that users must pass a CAPTCHA check to access the non-existent content of the site. Watchvideo.cc also has been observed to display a video window with a clip that is encountering some issue. A message similar to 'Press Allow to watch the video' will try to lure users into pressing the button and getting subscribed to the page's push notifications.
Advertisements delivered by hoax websites should be approached with caution. They could be promoting additional unsafe destinations, fake giveaways, phishing portals, or invasive PUPs (Potentially Unwanted Programs) disguised as seemingly legitimate applications. Interacting with the advertisements also could trigger redirects to more questionable websites.
