I was looking at a slideshow on MSN regarding the world’s best special forces when the screen suddenly changed to a scam which claimed that I was selected as 1 of 100 iiNet customers to win and I could select a Samsung Galaxt 9+, an iPhone XS or an iPad Pro.
Very surprising as I do not have an iiNet account but perhaps Internode, a wholly owned subsidiary, displays as iiNet.
It might be worth disabiling notifications in MS Explorer/Edge…This is how to do it…
Or if you want to retain notifications for other websites, one can also turn off notifications for a particular website such as MSM, see.
or for MS internet explorer 11, turn off popups…
Scanner often use such popups/notifications as they often look authentic and convincing.
I never allow website notifications when asked…which often occurs when first going to a new website where notifications/popups are used and requires permissions for their use.
The appearance of the scams do not bother me.
I just use the opportunity to warn others of new scams as they emerge.
The only thing I use Edge for is to look at the MSN website.
