Anyone else? (I didn't screen shot the pop up but here is the destination page).

Ironically, it just did it again while looking at this thread...

Squirrills · 18/09/2016 14:53

I just got this on android chrome. Just got a new phone which froze on the page so was a bit perturbed.

FATEdestiny · 18/09/2016 15:19

I got this, asking me about Virginmedia though (who are my broadband provider, not mobile phone provider) on my Android phone.

No option to close the pop up. I had to close down the whole mumsnet tab.

ReggaeShark · 18/09/2016 15:21

Yes its happening to me AGAIN. For god's sake! Two alternating pop ups and that bloody buzzing. Android.

honeysucklejasmine · 18/09/2016 15:22

Yeah, u had this before a few weeks ago, then it stopped. Now back again. Android phone, chrome browser.

Will screenshot next time.

AlmaMartyr · 18/09/2016 23:03

Yes, me too! Android phone, Vodafone, mobile site. Really annoying. Different companies featured but all very dodgy.

DameDiazepamTheDramaQueen · 18/09/2016 23:06

Yes me too.

Was it never fixed since last time, why's it happening again?Confused

honeysucklejasmine · 19/09/2016 07:39

Still happening here this morning and over the weekend. Same as that 3rd pic

SomethingAboutNothing · 19/09/2016 07:43

I thought this was my phone! It's been happening to me intermittently for a month or so. Also Android phone.

SorrelForbes · 19/09/2016 07:44

Just happened now. Redirection to a message about Virgin media.

incogKNEEto · 19/09/2016 07:46

Still happening here too. It won't let me go off the page back to mumsnet either l have to close down whole tab and reload mumsnet, really irritating.

ClopySow · 19/09/2016 08:12

Me too, sky rewards one on my mobile. I have sky broadband.

Sleepingonthebus · 19/09/2016 08:19

Me too. Android on mobile site with Chrome. Keeps freezing me completely and I have to restart my phone. I have anti virus.

ApplesinmyPocket · 19/09/2016 08:33

Having this too. Android, Chrome.

ScarfForAGiraffe · 19/09/2016 08:37

Yup. Me too. Getting fed up with mumsnet as have to close the tab mid reading as no other way to close it.

Out of curiosity are these adverts really from Virgin/plusnet etc. Is it part of spam advertising or is it all fake?

Kpo58 · 24/09/2016 07:32

I keep getting them too. Just have. Is something going to be done about this spam?

RaspberryIce · 24/09/2016 07:35

Just had this again too. Last time I had it was exactly one week ago. (Sat am)

froubylou · 24/09/2016 07:45

Me too over the last few weeks. Android using Chrome.

MyCatIsABiggerBastardThanYours · 24/09/2016 15:52

The bastard is back!

And news MN?

FATEdestiny · 24/09/2016 15:57

I got this again today, after it leaving me alone for a couple of weeks

liquidrevolution · 24/09/2016 16:02

Yep. Have had this on and off for a while. It's rubbish.

BurnTheBlackSuit · 24/09/2016 16:07

I have got these yesterday and today on my android mobile phone, and quoting my broadband provider (EE) (not my mobile provider).

I deleted all web data on my phone after that.

Please sort MN.
