Webheroes.store exists to act as a platform for online tactics solely. Users are strongly encouraged to close the page as soon as they land on it. Furthermore, encountering Webheroes.store in the first place is extremely unlikely to have been intentional. In the vast majority of cases, users are taken to such dubious destinations as a result of forced redirects caused by rogue advertising networks or PUPs (Potentially Unwanted Programs).
Once the deceptive site is opened, it will proceed to show misleading or clickbait messages to lure visitors into clicking the shown 'Allow' button and unknowingly enabling Webheroes.store's push notifications. Keep in mind that the exact text of the displayed messages could vary, as the site chooses between several different fake scenarios based on factors, such as users' IP addresses and geolocation.
One confirmed scam scenario consists of showing users a video window with the implication being that the video cannot be played due to playback issues. According to the message prominently displayed on the page, to access the supposed video content, visitors must first press 'Allow.' The message could be similar to:
'Click 'Allow', to watch the video'
If Webheroes.store is successful in its scheme, it will receive important browser permissions that it will immediately abuse to run an intrusive advertising campaign. Users risk being presented with untrustworthy advertisements promoting more unsafe destinations. The advertisements also could contain enticing offers for software products that may appear legitimate, but turn out to be nothing more than PUPs when installed.
