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?

I had the exact same but it was apparently from 3. Bit scary that it knew I'm with 3 🤔

There will be cookies and trackers on your phone/computer that are sending back a lot more information than the identity of your Internet provider.

Yes, for BT. Glad it isn't just me.

Yeah I’m getting the BT one. Then when clicking “back” takes me to a really scammy page. Obviously a site issue.

I'm getting an O2 one and when I click the back button I get a fake BBC News site. Thought it was my phone but it's only happeningcon MN.

Ive just had the google equivalent twice, I went back a page which cleared it, then it came back again 😖

Bettysnow · 07/11/2022 23:50

Yes for BT just now

MammaWeasel · 07/11/2022 23:53

Me too, glad to know it's not just me!

Hi all, we think we've managed to block these ads by now but please let us know if you're still seeing them anywhere on the site - if you can post on this Site Stuff thread we'll be sure to respond.

Sorry again for all the disruption these pop-ups caused last night.
