Hello, I’m about to see if it’s a problem at my end, but wondering if anyone is getting a pop up from “ searchoeper” offering a free gift (too busy fighting it from redirecting me to read the details). Obviously not legit though, so beware.

Hello everyone - thanks for letting us know and we're really sorry about the pop-ups - we're looking into this now.

Hi Everyone,

Just letting you know we are aware of the issue and have reached out to all our partners, will keep you updated on the issue but for now if you do see this popup just close it down by clicking on the X.

Thanks

Hi Everyone,

I have been informed that this issue has been replicated and blocked, can you please let me know if the popup continues to show up with a screenshot and information on what device you are using.

Thanks

Hi there @Wonkypalmtree,

What happens when you press the blue triangle on the advert? That should give you the option to close the ad normally.

Morning everyone. Thanks for your patience with this. Tech are working hard on this right now. As soon as there's any update we'll let you know.

While we're here, just a reminder to take care when posting screenshots that they don't include any identifying info such as IP address. If you've posted details like that accidentally, just hit the report button and we can delete it for you.

Afternoon, everyone. We're hopeful this issue is resolved now. There are a lot of these threads still floating around from the weekend so do pop over to this thread where AnyaMumsnet has posted with a bit more information. We're going to leave that thread running in case there are any more questions but close the others to new posts now just to keep everything in one place.

Thanks again for your patience while we sorted this out.
