Thanks for the replies. I was wondering if the above - which is reportedly a real scam that is going on now - was recognizable by forum members here.
You would never want to do this type of "verification". It's a fake CAPTCHA. Designed to load malware or do other harm to your computer.
On a Windows computer, the "Windows Key + R" opens the "run" dialog", then "Control-V" pastes whatever is on your clipboard into that run dialog, then "enter" executes the command you just pasted. Clicking the "Verify" button at the end doesn't do anything (doesn't need to - the damage was already done when you hit "enter" in the previous step). Actually, clicking that Verify button may clear your clipboard to hide the command that was executed . Evidently this fake CAPTCHA being reported has already loaded the malware command they want you to execute onto your clipboard before you see this fake verification that wants you to execute your clipboard.
My reason for saying that was to give a hint to other higher level computer users here - who like me, would immediately recognize the danger of that fake "verification" - not to spill the beans and blurt out that it was obviously not safe. And I am happy to see that the hint actually worked (thanks, fellow computer gurus!) I didn't want to taint people's answers to the question. I was also happy to see so many "no" answers. Most of these scams and malwares look so obvious to me that I wonder how anybody could fall for them. But when I saw this one, I thought to myself - "Hmmm, I can see this one possibly working on many people if they aren't computer geeks."
