Alerted to this scheme by my good friend, !Donovan. The vicitim visited an expired once secure website parked with TradeDoubler adware that now redirects to a fake malware warning site, read: https://isc.sans.edu/diary/How+Victims+Are+Redirected+to+IT+Support+Scareware+Sites/19487/

This web domain also seems to play a role in this scheme: https://www.virustotal.com/en/domain/tj.symcd.com/information/

We should understand that these redirects may be rather short lived and mitigating.
