9/10 times it's a virus, 1/10 times it's a Minecraft clone made in Scratch or something in 5 minutes riddled with ads. I wouldn't click on it unless I wanted Bitcoin mined on my computer.

yeah I can agree,Sometimes a thing pops up saying "click allow to confirm you are not a robot" and then when you confirm you get a whole lot of fake "YOU HAVE 7 VIRUSES" in your notifications.one way to delete them is to go into settings on your browser (three dots on top right clicked then click settings on bottom)
then P&S then third party cookies view see all site and data permissions then delete all data where the thing came from.

Basically just your typical con-artist scam of making a fake of a popular item, and then selling it to unsuspecting people who think it's the real thing for insane profits.
They mostly get kids with stuff like this, cause they don't often know the difference or even know what scams are at all.

Do not click on fishy things like this friends, it's kind of like smoking but for your laptop, it's very bad for their health and can lead to all sorts of problems.

That's ironic because a few times on here I saw a Minecraft ad featuring Bender from Futurama in it.

You can also see the crosshair on Bender, that's how you can also tell this is fake.

"there was a sucker born every minute" attributed to P.T. Barnum (probably incorrectly see https://quoteinvestigator.com/2014/04/11/fool-born/ if interested)

Seriously cons work because there's always a new crop of marks, although th eclassics sometimes get reskinned à la the "Spanish Prisoner" becoming the "Nigerian Prince"
