Fake notifications are growing at a rapid rate and invading our privacy by getting into our smartphones and personal computers to inject fake advertisements.

What are Fake Notifications?

Fake Notification is a way to trap the user to make it look like an original one. It is usually sent on Personal computers, Macs, and Smartphones to get clicks by showing fake advertisement that redirects a user to any random website for the sake of traffic or gain clicks.

These scammers use famous names such as Amazon, BestBuy, and Ali Express by showing a fake push notification that usually offers interesting news or coupons, which attracts a user to click on it.

Today, we will talk about the 5 ways you can protect yourself from this scam;

1. Check your Browser Notification List

Usually, people get random notifications which they never signed up for, to protect yourself from such notification, we would suggest having a look at the Notification list in your browser, by doing the following;

How to disable Notification in Google Chrome on PC

As told in a blog by Google Chrome, that by default Chrome is blocking all sorts of notifications to protect users from falling into this fraudulent trap.

Meanwhile, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari, Opera, and others are still allowing notification prompts to several users all around the world. Chrome is still the safest among them when it comes to battling fake notifications.

5. Use Malwarebytes Browser Guard (Chrome Extension)
