Livid - porn on my phone! please help

457 replies

bibbitybobbityyhat · 15/07/2016 08:12

I'm not the most tech savvy person, can anyone help please?

Last night I was posting on Mumsnet and an advert for a sex chat site appeared out of nowhere which had a close up video of a woman using a vibrator on herself that completely filled the screen Angry.

How did I inadvertently do this? It was on the Louise Mensch thread, I followed a link to the tweet and read it, then went back to post my message. I think when I hit post is when the porn appeared but I can't be entirely sure. I couldn't work out how to get it to stop either for a minute, or how to close the page.

I don't want porn on my phone ffs! What can I do?

Varvara I've just had that site pop-up too. I've an android.

Haven't had time to read the whole thread, but I was on the SN session in swimming pool thread when my phone (Nokia Lumia) suddenly redirected me to a porn side... Was called "f*swipe" I think 😞

I was going to start my own post here but it seems similar to what other people have experienced so am just posting here to flag it up. Hope that's OK - I think I'm going to stay off aibu for a while, really don't want that stuff on my phone!

Just had the above when clicked on active. Android chrome.

Was another porn local thingy.

Anytime I back clicked it just went deeper into more ads.

Forgot to say, have the issue on Android with Chrome and a gigantic MN logo on my Mac (also running chrome with ad block)

PoppyAmex · 21/07/2016 09:47

I'm having the same issues; random supermarket vouchers / porn add just from clicking on an active thread.

Have you managed to replicate the problem and solve it?

GreenDragon1 · 21/07/2016 09:11

I've just had the email I sent to contactus bounced back, due to "your email to group [email protected] was rejected due to spam classification." Which is ironic!

Below is one of the URLs for the supermarket vouchers. I can't post the other one as it has my local town in it. If you could delete the below URL once you've read it, just in case someone clicks on it.

I tried to copy the link address from the supermarket one when it appeared yesterday, but it wouldn't copy across to the clipboard. I have sent an email this morning with the links from my phone history.

ShowOfHands · 21/07/2016 08:28

There is no url when the ad opens out of the blue.

If I try to open it from my history, I am sent to...

www.mobile-appu pdates.info/sp/ss/down load.html

I've put in some gaps.

GloGirl · 21/07/2016 07:11

Clicking on an ad goes against my nature! But I will try and remember!

kittybiscuits · 21/07/2016 06:32

I did what you said- this one was a supermarket winner jobby- the url didn't appear.

IggyPopsicle · 21/07/2016 02:06

I'm on a Kindle Fire (using Silk browser) and have just had the porn pop ups after opening a thread on chat. I didn't click on any links; the crap just appeared whilst I was reading the first post.

I really hope this is resolved quickly as some of us are getting a bit fed up. I'll be damned if I am going to have to do a factory reset for the sake of one website.

FlibbertigibbetArmadillo · 21/07/2016 00:09

I never clicked on any ads the times it happened to me

DonkeyOaty · 20/07/2016 23:22

pax it's v good of you to take one for the team

paxillin · 20/07/2016 23:19

I'll do it should the porn page pop up again. Got it several times yesterday, not once today.

DameDiazepamTheDramaQueen · 20/07/2016 22:59

Sorry, I won't be clicking on the ads. I tried to do a screen shot a few weeks ago and my whole phone shut down, I'm not risking it.

Hi all

Our ad partners' tech teams have been scanning MN all day but alas, have not been able to replicate the issues. They've asked for some help from MNers, so if anyone is able to do the following we'd all be extremely grateful.

In order to pinpoint the rogue ad we need to obtain a clicktag on a mobile device. To obtain this, click and hold on the ad, and wait for a popup displaying a URL to appear. Copy the URL, and send that to [email protected], along with a description of the pop-up and/or a screenshot.

Thanks so much for your help and patience everyone.

kittybiscuits · 20/07/2016 22:37

Also had sainsbury competition winner yesterday but no enormous fat penis on that one!

kittybiscuits · 20/07/2016 22:36

Revolting porn pop up. Android phone, chrome. Not happy.

glasgowlass · 20/07/2016 22:31

Last night I suddenly got redirected to a site saying my phone has a virus. Had to shut browser down completely.
Tonight I've been suddenly redirected to a page saying I've won tesco vouchers.
Both times I'd just opened up MN mobile site but not clicked on any threads/links.

Using Android phone, chrome browser.

Another one with the tesco voucher pop up here. On Android, happened as I clicked onto a thread title from Active

ArriettyMatilda · 20/07/2016 22:12

On Sony Android phone

choccybiscuit · 20/07/2016 22:03
