• Links in reward sites. Sites that let you complete surveys for prizes and rewards sometimes promote National Consumer Center.

National Consumer Center is another one of those sites. Its problem is that it has ridiculous requirements to even get a chance to participate in a lottery for valuable prized. And yet, it flaunts these prizes from the very beginning.

Participating in National Consumer Center giveaways might be a huge waste of time, so keep that in mind.

Ads on infected websites and adware viruses

If National Consumer Center pop-ups are following you all the time – if they show up whenever you open your browser – then it might be that your computer is infected with adware. Adware is an application that displays ads to the user – it’s an easy method to generate revenue for cybercriminals. Most of the time, adware viruses are browser extensions. It could also be a notification hijacker.

It could also be that a website that you visit regularly has become infected with malicious redirects (yes, websites get infected with malware just like personal computers). This is most likely to happen if this website is niche, small, and/or old. Find the contacts of the administrators of the website and message them to tell them about the problem.

Finally, National Consumer Center pages are often shared on social media. They might be sent to you by friends or promoted by accounts impersonating a popular figure. Don’t click on such links and never trust offers that are too good ot be true.

How National Consumer Center Can Scam You

Here are the types of rewards that National Consumer Center offers:

• new phones,
• gaming consoles and other tech devices,
• gift cards.

The first problem with National Consumer Center’s ads is that they truly seem to promise users that they have won a prize. Sure, technically, they might tell you that “you can win” and not that you’ve already won. Still, the result is that people believe that they were just selected to be the recipient of a very valuable item.

According to National Consumer Center, to win its prizes, you only have to answer a few very basic questions about your favorite products and opinions on websites. But then, it also asks you to sign up with your payment information and to make various paid purchases. People do it – they spend their own money – because they believe that the gift card is a done deal. In reality, it’s not. As a result, the ads that National Consumer Center Virus uses could result in you losing some of your money.

It’s very sad to sometimes read a negative review of one of these reward sites – people who are already struggling with their finances sometimes get swept up in the excitement and believe that they’re owed various prizes. They spend valuable time and money fulfilling the tasks that National Consumer Center gives them, only to get nothing in the end.

How To Solve National Consumer Center Problem

As we have mentioned before, continuous advertisements by National Consumer Center might indicate that an adware virus might have infected your computer. To detect and remove it, you can use a reliable anti-malware application, such as Spyhunter (PC) or Combo-Cleaner (Mac). They can scan your device and warn you if they find a malicious or potentially unwanted app.

To get rid of notification spammers, check the settings of your browser.

Most importantly, when you encounter an ad that says that you’ve won a phone, a gift card for $50 or $500, or another valuable prize, just don’t believe it. Too many fake giveaways exist out there. In fact, it’s good to familiarize yourself with those scams and become a little cynical about it. Fake giveaways like the 1 trillion Google searches page would promise prizes such as PayPal $1000 gift cards. These pages are decorated with fake reviews and designed to look like they’re part of a reputable website, such as Google or Facebook. It’s all incredibly scummy.

Pay attention to what you do online. If an unexpected page appears in your browser, look for information about it online before you reveal your personal details. Moreover, if you want to make sure that your computer will remain secure in the future, be very careful about the software you install on it. If it is a freeware that you have downloaded from the Internet, always pay close attention to the installation process – most of the malware is traveling bundled with other programs and gets infiltrated into systems this way.
