Happened me recently then again tonight

NeverSayFreelance · 25/05/2019 21:20

It'll be a pop up/browser redirect trying to take you a dodgy site. Not good at all!

IWantMyHatBack · 25/05/2019 21:29

Same here. Happening when I click from active. Android, Chrome, mobile site

I just had it too
Android tablet Chrome browser

BarbaraofSevillle · 25/05/2019 21:31

I'm also getting it. Chrome on Sony Android tablet.

RivkaMumsnet · 25/05/2019 21:33

Just to let you know we are looking into this now.

FlibbertyGiblets · 25/05/2019 21:36

I'm not getting the pop up. Hurrah, some might say. Nope, I'm getting the disembodied American woman saying CONGRADULATIONS. Even though sound is OFF on my phone. Samsung. Chrome. Mobile site (not app).

Harrrrrrrrrrr-umph.

SneakyGremlins · 25/05/2019 21:37

@FlibbertyGiblets

Morning Lily. All seems fine today. Phew! Thank you.

Thank you for letting us know!

SneakyGremlins · 26/05/2019 09:53

Seems to have cleared up today - but I have noticed these things tend to only happen at night Confused

I'm getting the "CONGRADULATIONS" female voice, associated with a couple of ads.

I can't then use the back browser button to get off the page.

I have to press ACTIVE CONVERSATIONS to click back.

Gingernaut · 26/05/2019 17:28

This is one of them.

I had this a couple of times this morning. I have cleared my cookies and am keeping my fingers crossed that it works 🤞

LilyMumsnet · 26/05/2019 17:52

Hi all

Can you turn off wifi, click the ad and copy and paste the ad url so that we can have it and block it? We really need that! If you turn wifi off, the page won't load but should still give you the URL.

NicoAndTheNiners · 26/05/2019 17:58

Ive just had it happen on my Samsung phone.

I have had it a couple of times this afternoon/evening.

fedup21 · 27/05/2019 12:16

Getting it loads now

CherieBabySpliffUp · 27/05/2019 16:08

I've just had it again now so clearing my cache/cookies hasn't worked.
