Very annoying pop up!

Mods! Every time I log in to MN for the past couple of days, I get a pop up from searchoeper.top, saying I have been 'chosen' for something. I can't get rid of it - clicking the X does nothing, and if I get rid of it in the address bar, MN disappears too.
Can you please get rid of this 'invader'?

Quite apart from the annoyance, I dare say it's either trying to sell something or it's a scam.
I don't get it anywhere but MN.
Thank you!

I have the same pop up. Only on this site. Multiple times, to the extent I can't read any threads without it appearing.

Very annoying pop up!

Me too. DH is a programmer and says it's shit JavaScript. Mumsnet, sort out your coding!

I get this as well. It's when I use safari on my Iphone to go on mumsnet.
I don't get it on my PC at work.
It's as bad as the video ads that play. I can't go on Mumsnet at all on my Iphone these days between the video ads that use up my mobile data and battery and the pop up that says I've been chosen to win something.
It's a pity as my Iphone is the device I use most for Mumsnet.

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

I keep getting a pop up that takes me to the V&A website. It's really frustrating!

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 folks

We'll be updating on this thread - can you post on there if you need us? Just trying to keep things tidy and in one place.

So sorry for the inconvenience that this is causing - we're working very hard behind the scenes to put a stop to it. Flowers
