Is pointpleasantresortgroceries.com legit or a scam?
A deceptive tech support scam using fake 'Online Protection Disabled' alerts to frighten users into downloading malicious files.

MT Intelligence
The site employs aggressive 'scareware' tactics by displaying a fake system notification overlay that claims your computer's protection is disabled. Our page analyzer detected deceptive prompts urging users to 'Renew Your License' to protect their PC, which is a classic hallmark of tech support fraud. While the domain is over 11 years old, it appears to have been repurposed or compromised, as it currently hosts bizarre content including future-dated articles from 2026 and broken image placeholders. Bfore.Ai PreCrime has already flagged the infrastructure as malicious. Furthermore, the official Point Pleasant Resort uses an entirely different partner for grocery services, confirming this site is an impersonator.
