Fake pop-up / scareware warning signs
Domain was registered only 22 days ago — brand-new sites are higher-risk by default. This looks like a fake-prize / fake-alert pop-up page used to push adware, push-notification spam, or unwanted software. Don't click "Allow" on notification prompts, don't install anything it offers, and close the tab rather than following any "claim" or "fix" button.
Is d9cb6d8hubcc73embchg.forgegrowthrise.com legit or a scam?

New subdomain on a 22-day-old domain flagged for browser notification spam and adware by multiple researchers.
Score breakdown
See the live page ↓These checks passed — but they don't clear the site. A clean antivirus result, valid SSL, and a calm server only mean it isn't hosting malware; they say nothing about whether the business is real. This verdict is based on the site's conduct and content, not a malware detection.
If this is a scam — what it means for you
You were probably about to click 'Allow', 'Download', or a 'fix'/'claim' button.
If it is, nothing is actually wrong with your device and you didn't win anything — those buttons install adware, spam notifications, or lead to a fake-support scam.
If this is a scam, how it works
The typical trap, step by step
This site is unverified — it may be legitimate. If it is a scam, this is the playbook pages like it follow:
A pop-up screams “Congratulations, you won!” or “Your device is infected!”.
A fake countdown or alarm manufactures panic and urgency.
Clicking “Allow”, “Download”, “Scan now”, or “Call support” is the trap.
You get adware, spam notifications, and junk extensions — or a fake phone-support scam.
If a site follows these steps, treat it as unsafe — close it and don't enter anything.

Intelligence
The domain forgegrowthrise.com was registered only 22 days ago through NameCheap with no privacy protection. Three separate security researchers classify the domain as browser notification spam and adware that uses fake prompts to obtain notification permissions. Once granted, the site pushes intrusive alerts containing scam offers and potential redirects to phishing or malware pages. Our antivirus network returned a clean result, yet the specific behavioural pattern described in the evidence package overrides that signal. The subdomain itself shows no business registration and no traffic ranking, consistent with throwaway infrastructure used for this campaign. The combination of extreme domain age, documented spam behaviour, and lack of any legitimate purpose produces a high scam likelihood.

What to do
Fake pop-up / scareware page
This page uses fake "you won a prize" or "your device is infected" pop-ups to push adware, browser-notification spam, unwanted extensions, or a fake support number — none of it is real.
- Treat d9cb6d8hubcc73embchg.forgegrowthrise.com as unverified
Do not enter credentials or send money until you have independently verified the business.
- Close the tab — don't click "Allow", "Download", or "Call"
You didn't win, and your device isn't infected. Every "Allow notifications", "Download", "Scan now", or "Call support" button leads to adware, junk extensions, or a scam. Just close the tab — or the whole browser.
- If you clicked "Allow", turn the notifications back off
Open your browser's Site Settings → Notifications, find the site, and set it to Block (or remove it). That stops the spam pop-ups it now pushes to your desktop.
- OpenRemove anything it installed, then run an adware scan
Uninstall any browser extension, "player", "codec", or app you added because of this page, and run a reputable free adware / malware cleaner (e.g. Malwarebytes) to clear leftover PUPs. And never call a number shown in a pop-up — real vendors don't do that.
Final Verdict
This subdomain serves browser notification spam. Three independent security sources flag the parent domain for deceptive permission prompts and intrusive push notifications.
Safety FAQ
Common questions, answered directly from the scan data above — so the answers always reflect the latest verdict on this page.
- d9cb6d8hubcc73embchg.forgegrowthrise.com is a scareware / fake-pop-up page — the kind that flashes "Congratulations, you won!" or "Your device is infected!" alerts to push adware, browser-notification spam, unwanted extensions, or a fake support number. None of it is real — you didn't win, your device isn't infected, and its "Allow", "Download", and "Call" buttons all lead to junkware or a scam. Close the tab: don't click anything, don't allow notifications, and never call a number it shows.
- Proceed with caution — d9cb6d8hubcc73embchg.forgegrowthrise.com scores 46/100 on our trust scale. We found enough warning signals to recommend verifying it through independent channels before entering credentials or money.
- Almost certainly not from just loading it. d9cb6d8hubcc73embchg.forgegrowthrise.com shows fake "you won a prize" or "your device is infected" pop-ups to scare or tempt you into clicking — the pop-up itself is the trick, not a real infection or a real prize. The danger is what happens if you act on it: clicking "Allow" turns on spam desktop notifications, and "Download", "Update", or "Scan now" buttons install adware, unwanted extensions, or PUPs. If you only saw the pop-ups and closed the tab, you're fine. If you clicked "Allow", block the site under your browser's Notifications settings; if you installed or downloaded anything, remove it and run a reputable free adware/malware cleaner (e.g. Malwarebytes). And never call a "support" number shown in a pop-up — that's a scam.
- No. The "Congratulations, you won!" and "Your device is infected!" pop-ups on d9cb6d8hubcc73embchg.forgegrowthrise.com are fake — an automated ad-network page shows the same message to everyone who lands on it. You didn't win anything, and nothing actually scanned your device. The whole point is to get you to click: "Claim", "Allow", "Download", and "Call" all lead to adware, spam notifications, junk browser extensions, or a fake-support phone scam. Close the tab and don't click anything on the page.
- If you're getting pop-ups even after closing the page, you probably clicked "Allow" on a notification prompt — the spam now comes from your browser, not the site. Open your browser settings → Site Settings → Notifications, find d9cb6d8hubcc73embchg.forgegrowthrise.com (and anything else you don't recognise), and set it to Block or remove it. Then uninstall any extension, "player", or app you added because of the page, and run a reputable free adware/malware cleaner (e.g. Malwarebytes) to clear leftover PUPs.
- No — all 92 antivirus and blocklist engines in our malware network currently report d9cb6d8hubcc73embchg.forgegrowthrise.com as clean. That's a good sign, though antivirus coverage is only one of the many signals we weigh, and brand-new scam sites can appear clean before vendors catch up.
- No — d9cb6d8hubcc73embchg.forgegrowthrise.com is not currently on the major browser blocklist feeds that Chrome, Safari, Firefox, and Edge rely on. Note that blocklists can lag behind brand-new scam domains, so "not listed" is reassuring but not a guarantee on its own.
- d9cb6d8hubcc73embchg.forgegrowthrise.com is 22 days old, registered on June 25, 2026 through NameCheap, Inc.. Scam sites are very often freshly registered and short-lived, so an age under six months is a reason for extra caution.
- Yes — d9cb6d8hubcc73embchg.forgegrowthrise.com presents a valid TLSv1.3 certificate issued by Google Trust Services · WE1, valid for another 67 days. Important caveat: SSL only encrypts the connection between you and the site — it does not verify who runs it. Almost all scam sites now have valid SSL too, so a padlock alone never means "safe".
- d9cb6d8hubcc73embchg.forgegrowthrise.com resolves to an IP operated by Cloudflare, Inc. in US (Content Delivery Network). Hosting location alone doesn't make a site good or bad — but hosting that doesn't match a brand's claimed country, or that sits on networks known for abuse, is one of the many signals we weigh alongside the verdict above.
- This report is a record of the scan run on July 17, 2026, and the verdict reflects that point in time. Scam sites change fast — they can go live, get flagged, or vanish within days — so if you believe something about d9cb6d8hubcc73embchg.forgegrowthrise.com has changed, MalwareTips staff can run a fresh scan that re-checks every signal from scratch and republishes an updated verdict.
