So clearly co and n a thread to read it, can't go back and leave the page, have to shut / wipeoff the page and start from scratch on Google to back to Manet.

Every time it does thisthere is a lucky user..we select 10 users everyday' typead... Only happens with Mumsnet, no other sites...

I habe also had trouble clicking back, had to do it three or four times and it has refreshed a couple of times with "warning: deceptive site ahead" pages on my phone too.

StillRunningWithScissors · 26/05/2019 23:10

I've had the same.

Restarted my phone, and seems to have solved it

Rowgtfc72 · 27/05/2019 17:06

Can't click back at all and keep getting the red deceptive site pop up.

AliDran · 27/05/2019 17:20

Yes, I've been getting this all afternoon as well. I'm on chrome with a Samsung s9

JoyceDivision · 27/05/2019 17:22

Anyone at mumsnet offices know what's happening?

Its constant now, the sites becoming unusable

megletthesecond · 27/05/2019 18:19

Same..

ElloBrian · 27/05/2019 18:20

Are you using an Adblock and a ghosting browser? If not, I recommend. Would help enormously.

Redshoeblueshoe · 27/05/2019 18:27

I keep getting dangerous site, it continuous. I'm on a tablet

Chesntoots · 27/05/2019 19:30

I'm getting this and the red alert thing too.

I think I will come off for a few days

Whitelisbon · 27/05/2019 20:02

I'm getting the same, with a voice saying congratulations.
Almost unusable, on android with Samsung s7

MeltedCrayons · 27/05/2019 20:06

This issue, the refreshing active when you finally get back and the red box pop up have made mumsnet unusable!

PickAChew · 27/05/2019 20:11

These ads have been prevalent on a few sites, today for both me and dh. Obviously a new spate of them.

Just came to report this one and found this thread.

I've just had that red one on Safari, having clicked through a link in the MN app. Never seen it before. The MN app is working as normal (not 'working fine', though - the usual problems refreshing and loading).

HebeMumsnet · 28/05/2019 15:51

Hi OP. Thanks for letting us know about it. Could you tell us where it's appearing? ie which threads you're seeing it on? If you could also tell us what browser and device you're using that would be really helpful. We'll make Tech aware now.
