As part of the human verification process, the user is asked to allow push notifications from the website. The verification take the form of a question “CLICK «ALLOW» TO CONFIRM THAT YOU ARE NOT A ROBOT!”, or other similar process. Once on the fake website, the user is prompted to complete a human verification process in order to access content or a feature. Scammers create a fake website that resembles a legitimate one, or they may use pop-up ads, phishing emails, Adware, or PUPs to redirect the user to the fake website. Here’s an example of a Rank Captcha Scam (Virus): Once push notifications are enabled by the user, scammers can utilize them to present ads, phishing scams, or other harmful material directly on the user’s device, even if they’re not using the browser. But the real purpose of the fake human verification is to fool people into allowing push notifications. They might ask people to answer questions, click a button, follow a link, or do something else to prove that they’re human.

They might create a fake verification page or pop-up window that looks like a real human verification, like CAPTCHA or reCAPTCHA. The scammers use a fake human verification process to trick people into allowing push notifications.

“Rank Captcha” is a scam that poses as a tool to verify if website visitors are human.
