Send-news.net

Posted: November 13, 2019

Send-news.net is a bogus page that has been set up with the sole purpose of distributing advertisements to the user's Web browsers by misusing the browser's ability to display notifications. Users might be referred to Send-news.net's bogus pages while browsing shady websites that have been paid to promote this fraudulent operation. While visiting Send-news.net or seeing its notifications is not a major problem, it should not be ignored since the page notifications may bother you continuously.

People who stumble onto Send-news.net may be prompted to 'Allow' this website to display notifications. To get the user's approval, the site may display fake alerts stating that they must press the 'Allow' button to view some sort of fake content:

  • An embeded video.
  • A picture gallery.
  • An entertaining news article.

The administrators behind bogus pages like Send-news.net may use all sorts of social engineering tricks to fool their visitors into allowing the website to display notifications in their Web browser. If Send-news.net is given permission to do this, it may begin to display regular notifications that promote affiliate links, suspicious marketplaces, dubious software download offers and other content that users should avoid.

You should never allow unknown websites to display notifications in your Web browser, regardless of what they promise you.
