Every time I scroll down a thread, this pops up and if I press ‘back’ or try to refresh, it just recycles to more scammy stuff! Anyone else got this issue?

Yes for Vodafone

Floydthebarber · 07/11/2022 21:48

Yes, infuriating. I only came back onto mumsnet to see if it had been reported @mnhq . There is one of those scammy, clickbait lookinng websites behind it if you close the popup.

crabsaremisunderstood · 07/11/2022 21:49

Ah, sorry I didn’t catch the thread on site stuff (I don’t often look on there but now it seems obvious!). I’m with BT so I wonder if they freakishly can target the ad to the user’s provider…

Yes, I’m getting it as a virgin as rather than BT though.

Dacadactyl · 07/11/2022 21:49

Yep. Every time i go to post anything longer than 2 lines it comes up and my reply is lost.

Dacadactyl · 07/11/2022 21:50

Can mumsnet sort it out?

crabsaremisunderstood · 07/11/2022 21:50

I haven’t seen it for 5 minutes now so maybe it’s been fixed?

Me too, allegedly BT. Have just cleared my browsing history/cookies etc from the last hour and it seems a little better… 🤞🤞

MrsClatterbuck · 07/11/2022 21:55

Me too but replace BT with Google

StressedToTheMaxxx · 07/11/2022 21:59

Yes, I thought it was my phone! Bloody annoying.

Pancake1Pancake2 · 07/11/2022 22:05

I'm seeing one too intermittently

SkinOfTeeth · 07/11/2022 22:11

Yes for Virgin. Just popped up on the disability/abortion thread a minute ago and had one earlier in the evening.

DietColaBreak · 07/11/2022 22:14

Yes!!! Was going to post the same thing!!! Except mines a vodaphone ad. It's driving me nuts!!

Loics · 07/11/2022 22:14

Not BT, but I've won big with Google. 😂

Clarinet1 · 07/11/2022 22:14

Yes! I keep getting the Virgin one, which is my mobile provider. MNHQ anything you can do?

IneedsomeSleeppleasenow · 07/11/2022 22:17

Same here for Virgin, I adjusted settings in the browser and selected ad blocker - seems to have sorted it.

Twiglets1 · 07/11/2022 22:19

Lostoldusername · 07/11/2022 22:19

Yes, thought it was just me!
