Pop ups * See post #55 for answer *

Where do I report scam ads? Just message a mod?

I got one of those "Google is giving away (prize) for 1 trillion searches" ads that isn't from Google.

I also got one of the "Clean up your (phone model) spam ads.

I'm not sure if the second is offensive, but it is annoying and deceptive.

The first is straight up fraudulent, and usually only found on sketchy sites. B&B isn't that kind of site...

Can you screen shot these if they come up?

Yeah, I screenshot the google one. The other popped up when I misclicked away from making this thread, and I swiped back on my phone browser before I thought to screenshot it.

I'll send you the screenshot ad, since you replied. Thanks!

Thanks. This is the kind of concrete evidence we need to present to the ad company.

While using an iPhone with Google I get the same recurring pop up. Anyone else having this issue?

 

[brucered]

What did you win? Iphone or Samsung?

Yup, I was getting them the other day.

Uninstalled app. Reinstalled app. No issues since.

I'm on Android 12.

I did just that. We shall see

Got same in Safari, not an app. No way to cancel out. The ad takes over the browser with no choice but to close out. It is getting harder to participate here.

I’ve been getting these too, only on this site.

This is the only place I get them too. Hopefully being a contributor now will help.

I don't think the .XYZ and .TOP (spam) is related to the B&B ads. They are considered hacking viruses.

[brucered]

They're back.

 

[Wid]

Oh boy. Haven’t had one yet, we shall see.

 

[luvmysuper]

Reported. Thanks. Let us know if these happen. These guys change website names frequently apparently.

We both won!

That's pretty good odds, considering there was only 100 lucky winners and the size of the internet.

You guys need to use a better dns server on your network or devices. Perhaps quad9 if you don’t roll your own.

I started getting them yesterday, really annoying.....
