I keep getting redirected to a spam ‘FB gifts’ thing?

Morning.

As of about 10 minutes ago, every couple of clicks I keep getting redirected to some spammy ‘Congratulations you’ve won!’ page on Facebook? I’m just clicking on the usual MN navigation buttons, nothing weird. My device doesn’t have any viruses.

iPhone 6S
Safari
Mobile version
IOS 12.1.4

I’ve attached screenshots of the of the pages I keep redirecting to. It started on a multiples thread (also pictured).

Me too and I got it while checking out a newspaper site that shall not be named for fear of being ostracised by Mumsnetters. 😁

This was just shared on Facebook - don’t know if it’s part of the same thing?

Same happening here.

Mumsnet you’re getting a reputation for running the site incompetently/bordering on dodgy.

Me too it’s really annoying and literally any time I click on any link on thread on mumsnet

Also the enlarging text/scrolling up thing

This is the spammy ‘FB’ page, though the URL is not Facebook.
