How to Avoid Mysmarterdeals.shop Pop-Up Ads

Mysmarterdeals dot shop is one of the several domains that are used to disseminate and run the T-Mobile customer reward program scam.

Landing on the page, you will immediately see the "allow notifications" dialog box of your browser. The page combines the scam with the usual misleading site ad-pushing behavior, by abusing push notification functionality.

Allowing ads from similar scam or untrustworthy and misleading websites is a recipe for trouble. Most of those sites source their ads through rogue advertising networks. This means that those ads may link to questionable content, other misleading or scam pages, potentially unwanted program installers or other unsafe locations.

The scam abusing T-Mobile branding and imagery should also not be overlooked. If a scam victim attempts to claim the fake rewards, they will be redirected to a phishing page that will attempt to collect victims' personal information, including email addresses, names and phone numbers.

This information can later be abused by the bad actors operating Mysmarterdeals dot shop as well as the other domains running the T-Mobile customer reward program scam.

Remember you should never click any buttons or links that a completely unfamiliar domain or website asks you to seconds after the page loads and exercise caution when you browse the Internet.
