Keep being taken to a BT Survey page (scam?)

Multiple times this morning I've been half way through a thread when suddenly I'm on a page telling me I've been selected as a BT customer to do their free survey. The URL is not a BT one - it's eu.attractionsdisneyland.xyz so it's clearly some kind of scam. It's only happening on MN, is there a bigger issue?

So no explanation or apology, just a "we've fixed it" - until next time.

Hingeandbracket · 04/05/2020 22:02

This is very very far from the first time - why can MN not prevent this?

The very least the scammers could do is update the BT logo.

I'm on the app on my phone at the moment. Was supposed to be working on the laptop earlier but got bored and was going to do a bit of mumsnetting for a break. I went on a few threads on AIBU but got the BT fake ad.

At least it got me back to the wfh that I should have been doing in the first place.

Me too, on multiple pages. A right pain.. makes the site practically unusable at the moment.

PrivateD00r · 04/05/2020 12:39

It has happened on every thread I have been on, including this one. Mine is for BT but we aren't BT customers.

Yes, I have the BT one constantly, so annoying! I'm actually with BT but I want to switch provider just because they have such intrusive marketing.

Me too, a sky thing. I use iPad, and it was coming up numerous times on different threads. In the end I googled how to block sites and did so. So far, it seems to have worked 🤞 I only put this first part of the web address in, it started eu.attractions. Go to settings, screen time then content and privacy settings.

ChardonnaysPetDragon · 04/05/2020 11:19

Same here, Virgin, safari

bilbodog · 04/05/2020 11:18

Just happened again. On this page again!

pilates · 04/05/2020 11:15

Yep every thread I’ve gone into it’s doing it

MillicentMartha · 04/05/2020 11:15

ZeroFuchsGiven · 04/05/2020 11:09

Site is unreadable

SquigglePigs · 04/05/2020 11:09

I've had that for Virgin media a few times this morning.

Thanks @CaveMum we'll take a look and keep you posted. Flowers

Multiple

CaveMum · 04/05/2020 11:04

It’s happening to me on multiple pages, one minute I’m reading a thread then I’m suddenly redirected.

Hi thanks for all these reports. Please can you let us know the thread/page you were on when you saw this? We're taking a look now and will hopefully get to the bottom of this. Flowers

Witchlight · 04/05/2020 11:02

Me too. I think I will give up Mumsnet today, until you get it fixed.

It is Virgin and I use Safari.

Thanks

Mysterian · 04/05/2020 11:02

Yup. On different sites. I've reinstalled Adblock. No issues now.
