Misleading website messages and prompts are the favorite weapons of online con artists who want to find new ways to get random users engaged in their low-effort tactics. Recently, there has been a sudden rise in the popularity of tactics that aim to hijack the notifications of your Web browser. If the tactic is successful, the con artist behind it will be able to push advertisements to your Web browser by abusing the notifications feature. This tactic is found on websites like Decrepeats.club, but there are hundreds of other pages that run various variants of the con.

Users who see Decrepeats.club's prompts may be told that they have to confirm that they are not robots by pressing 'Allow.' The prompt containing this button serves an entirely different purpose – it is your Web browser asking you to subscribe to Decrepeats.club's push notifications. If the page receives these permissions, it will be able to start delivering advertisements in the form of browser notifications.

The Decrepeats.club notifications should not be trusted since they may often contain low-quality advertisements for shady websites, software and services. If your browser is displaying notifications from Decrepeats.club, it is recommended to stop this behavior by removing the page's permissions to use notifications.
