"Cannot verify server identity" - fiat ad

22 replies

AgentProvocateur · 28/08/2016 20:22

Every second thread I open has a fiat ad (which would be the last car I would ever buy, after having nothing but trouble with a Punto a few years back!) and then I get this "cannot verify server" pop up constantly. Help!

Hi AgentProvocateur,

Thanks for the screenshot, let us know what device you're using and which browser and we can take a look.

It was on my iPad, using safari, on the mobile site.

If I use the mobile site on my Galaxy tablet i get a login screen for something called 'fiatprofessional', wonder if it's connected to this too?

Yes, I've been getting the exact same thing as Agent all day too. I'm also using the mobile site with Safari on an iPad.

I am not sure if this is related, but when I try to open a certain thread in Chat I get this message from Kaspersky:

Hi There,

We have asked for fiat to be blocked, let us know if problem persists.

The fiatprofessional login screen has popped up twice this morning but strangely it hadn't done so for the past 3 or 4 days

I've just got the fiat pop up again. Safari on iPad.

Ok looking into this, can you tell me if it only pops up with the fiat ad in view?

Report
AgentProvocateur · 04/09/2016 17:30

Yes, my problem was only when the fiat ad was at the top of the page.

Ok, it's odd as Fiat is blocked but looks like they've mislabeled as another advertiser, will keep at it.

Happened again about an hour ago, yes there was a fiat ad at the too of the page when the login popped up
