Anyone else getting a red warning notice flashing up saying the site is deceptive?

Me too. Samsung Google chrome. Just pops up no clicking. Either says Samsung or iPhone giveaway.

Bloody hell, this is ridiculous. The red screen is flashing up every few seconds on some threads. Chrome, mobile site, Samsung phone, FTR. Please sort it.

Crunchymum · 27/05/2019 21:18

Sort it out MNHQ. Between this and the fucking random voice talking to me, the site is unusable.

It's happening on my phone too every few minutes whenever I go on Mumsnet very irritating!

Ellieboolou27 · 27/05/2019 21:10

Same here! iPhone and safari

mrselizabethdarcy · 27/05/2019 20:57

Me too! I'm on a Samsung phone.

S1naidSucks · 27/05/2019 20:55

It’s very odd, as it keeps popping up on my iPhone, but has not happened on my iPad.

LassOfFyvie · 27/05/2019 20:45

Me too. Samsung 10 with Samsung native browser. And the warning is correct as this pop up appears constantly on threads

Just started. Huawei P20 Pro on Chrome.

SparklyMagpie · 27/05/2019 20:29

I give up now, this is getting even worse and think it's a naff response from MNHQ after theres been nothing but problems for weeks and no answers

Samsung

Veronicat · 27/05/2019 20:22

I have it on chrome but not in adblock browser thankfully.

HeadsDownThumbsUpEveryone · 27/05/2019 20:21

we think this may be a glitch with certain ads rather than anything more serious

That doesn't really fill me with a great deal of confidence...

we are looking into this now.

I'm not a great techy wizard who knows all there is to know about fixing computer issues but please for the love of all that is good tell me you don't literally mean your tech team have known about this issue for 7 + hours and they are still at the looking into it stage!

CastleCrasher · 27/05/2019 20:20

I'm getting the same adverts from dodgy sites, 'competitions' etc as @newroundhere - I understand that MN is probably just booked into a generic Google advertising tool, but to be honest seeing this kind of thing is really really putting me off using the site. Being pestered by Boden is one thing, but dodgy 'competitions' from guys wanting to hack my accounts? Angry

Jenasaurus · 27/05/2019 20:18

I haven’t had it yet. I’m using safari and iPhone. Maybe it’s waiting to pounce.

ThisMustBeMyDream · 27/05/2019 20:18

My phone is off with MN minimised and it is still shouting congratulations at me.

ReganSomerset · 27/05/2019 20:16

@MNHQ can you also get rid of the phishing scam adverts please? I did start a thread about it but was ignored...

The one above this now says 'Congratulations Talk Talk limited user! You have won (1) prize!'

I'm seriously concerned that MN might be giving my phone viruses.

Bigearringsbigsmile · 27/05/2019 20:14

IRS nothing to do with genuine ads.

TeaForTheWin · 27/05/2019 20:12

Only on my phone. Hope it was safe to click on lol.

Hi Everyone,

Thanks so much for letting us know - we think this may be a glitch with certain ads rather than anything more serious but we are looking into this now.

We're really sorry this is making using the site difficult and we'll work hard to get things back to normal service as fast as we can.

I started getting this yesterday.
Samsung/Chrome

Houseonahill · 27/05/2019 20:03

I'm getting the same page as naughttothreesadonions started happening yesterday and I'm using a Samsung s8

OvertheInfluence · 27/05/2019 19:52

Uff! Was diverted to red screen of phishing whilst writing this post...

This is the only site I have ever tolerated using when getting security warnings/ phishing attacks etc and I have had so many over the past month.

Not only unacceptable but also, why the radio silence from MNHQ. What is going on with this site?

No disingenuous "oh, we haven't noticed give us some info" posts. Actual, "these are the reasons we're struggling at the moment " explanations please.

OpalTree · 27/05/2019 19:49

I'm getting it. Chrome Samsung A3

Emmabryant123 · 27/05/2019 19:48

Please fix this

Samsung and using chrome browser here
