Pop up, anyone else?

Was just on the Facebook thread and all of a sudden got diverted away from the page and given the attached pop up. Had to bash the back key (like a demented sea lion) to get back here.

I get these occasionally from other sites (yes ok usually slightly dodgy celeb gossip ones when my curiosity about Taylor Swift and Kanye gets the better of me) but have never had one on MN before.

Is it just me?

I've just had it AGAIN when I chose this thread from TIO.

Muddlingalongalone · 21/07/2016 21:59

I've had this half a dozen times in the past 2 days. Sony Xperia & Chrome

Abzs · 21/07/2016 21:56

Me too. On vegan separate meals thread in aibu. As described, took me to a voucher competition page with an accept/decline loop. Only way out is to close Chrome.

Hi all,

Apologies for the radio silence, we are posting over on this thread please do pop over there for further info.

DameDiazepamTheDramaQueen · 21/07/2016 13:43

3x this morning!

tiredvommachine · 21/07/2016 11:33

Had it twice today. Gah.

AndroidAddict · 21/07/2016 11:13

Had it two or three times yesterday. It knew I had an HTC phone, saying something about it being picked for some competition for some Tesco vouchers. I didn't read it properly because I was too busy trying to click back. It kept saying something like was I sure I wanted to leave the page - accept or decline. I tried decline but nothing happened. In the end I had to close the browser to get rid of it. I've done a virus scan a couple of times and it's not found anything.
HTC M9. Google chrome browser.

And again. Have to close the whole thing. Its a "click OK to continue" where you have to click to Close it. Then close the whole thing.

I've run avg and nothings come.up.

AliDran · 21/07/2016 10:23

I've just had the tesco one on a Samsung s6. It just popped up as I was reading a thread, and my back button didn't work to take me back

Mov1ngOn · 21/07/2016 09:02

Another one. Your Xperia z3 has won... Had to close whole window. Was whilst I was reading a thread.

somewheresomehow · 21/07/2016 08:15

I had it at least four times last night, just mooching round various threads then this pops up
I then get 'are you sure you want to leave the page'
And still won't let you close it !
Am using a kindle fire

Icanseeclearly · 21/07/2016 07:34

Hi HQ, I've just had an auto divert to porn and a popup scam all at once.
Reading a thread so no clicking.
On android, fully updated.
Running avg all the time.
Never downloaded "Pokemon Go" or any other apps in the last few months.

Felascloak · 21/07/2016 07:00

I just got porn, followed by an anti virus scam thing when I clicked back. It's not nice, especially with kids next yo me. Please sort it out Sad

nobeer · 20/07/2016 22:38

I'm on a moto phone using chrome. I just got one called local naughties. Looked dodgy!

Felascloak · 20/07/2016 22:28

I've just had it. Chrome on a galaxy s4. Got redirected to some sort of cinema registration thingy.

SecretSpy · 20/07/2016 22:26

I've just had it, using Chrome on Android. First time ever. I've not clicked any dodgy links.

Pop up, anyone else?
glasgowlass · 20/07/2016 22:25

Yep had this last night & again just now. Mobile site.
Android phone using chrome.

MonsterChopz · 20/07/2016 22:22

Happened to me a couple of times tonight. I'm on a LG G5 using chrome. Not had any issues previously.

HuckleberryGin · 20/07/2016 22:10

Just happened to me. Huawei 9, Android, chrome.

LetBartletBeBartlet · 20/07/2016 22:08

Sony Xperia, using Chrome. Just had the stupid Tesco winner pop up out of seemingly nowhere whilst trying to get onto a thread from active convos

drinkyourmilk · 20/07/2016 22:06

I've just had it too. I'm on the mobile site using my Samsung phone.

MermaidofZennor · 20/07/2016 22:04

Keep getting this pop-up on my Kindle Fire. V annoying. Has happened several times today Angry

Wheeldonangela · 20/07/2016 21:59

This just happened to me to, first time ever. On the does anyone do surveys thread. Had to close down the process to get rid of it. Think I got the porn one the other day too but the standard virgin parental controls stopped it.

SaggyNaggy · 20/07/2016 21:49

I just got the same thing.

Pop up, anyone else?
Mov1ngOn · 20/07/2016 21:49

Yup Sony Xperia. Just clicking on threads I'm on and it never got there. Pop ups you can't close make.me.cross.
