What is with these weird fake faucets popping up everywhere?

I wasn't sure what category to post this in, but I've been seeing these strange "faucets" popping up pretty often from mellow ads and other similar crypto-related advertising services, claiming to pay out ridiculous amounts of free btc (~75k s฿ or so) "every 10 minutes" with no captcha.. And they usually say that they plan to add altcoins soon.

These two, for example, say to put in your btc address and hit enter, but obviously nothing happens.

4realbtc [dot] xyz
btcparty [dot] xyz

And another one I've seen that looks to be in a similar format (but there isn't even a field showing up on my end to claim):

Actually, I just went through my history and found the URL, but it seems to be down now.. The URL for the site was

claim-btc [dot] info

Are these simply to get people to watch the single ad that's on the site? If I remember right, claim-btc didn't even have any ads, aside from the "what is bitcoin?" video at the bottom of all of them.

Very odd.

I tried visiting these, and it's strange how similar they are. They don't seem to have ads, so I checked if they were minejacking, but it doesn't look like they are either. Inputing an address doesn't do anything, so they may be logging those, but I have no idea what they could use them for. Maybe they're just preparing something shadier for the future? Either way, it's probably best to not visit them, unless you know you have adequate protection.

Its better not to view that sites again.. just stick to that legit ones.
