Scammers Ride on Popular Vote411 Voter Info Site to Push Scareware Alerts

Online swindlers are using a domain that can be easily confused with a voter information website to redirect users to pages pushing various types of scams. With the US midterm elections on November 6 and English comedian John Oliver promoting the website on his show last week, visits to VOTE411.org increased significantly. The site is now redirecting to pages showing fake malware infection alerts on iOS and Windows platforms. The scam site does not attempt to deliver a binary.com binary warning and leads users to SMS subscription or to lure credit card details.
