Deceptive advert looks like you have message in inbox

MNHQ:

I don't like the advert currently being a banner on mobile devices - it's dishonest as it looks like part of your site - as if I have a DM. I think it's for Argos but haven't fully clicked through.

I agree it's annoying and unnecessary

Hi there
thanks for flagging this - we'll have a look

I had one similar to that and thought maybe the mobile site had changed format again - it looked quite genuine so I clicked on it. Closed it as soon as I realised it was an ad.

Hi everyone - the tech team responsibly for ad operations are looking into this at the moment. Thanks for posting.
