P.S. when I said using a chrome browser on an android phone I should have specified its not a Samsung phone its a Fairphone.

No recurrence yet using Ghostery browser. Which is nice.

Oddly it seems to have stopped for me now . No issues for aboit an hour I think? I've not done anything (cookies, restarted etc).

IHaveBrilloHair · 27/05/2019 22:46

I just had one flash up again

Reasonstobeearful · 27/05/2019 23:13

I got a brief flash on my address bar and then a load of full pop up windows - I'd won a Samsung, some bt prize as well. And for weeks now when I'm on here I've got, periodically, a little box that says I'm the one millionth visitor and I've won a prize.

I've been getting this thought it was just me! On lots of sites when I'm on safari.

Owlettele · 27/05/2019 23:37

Explorer and Huawei p20

thenightsky · 27/05/2019 23:39

Only seems to be happening on my phone - hewawi and Chrome. Laptop using internet explorer is fine.

MyHomeHasPeculiarChildren · 27/05/2019 23:42

Just had the deceptive site one here on a crappy Alba tablet running Chrome lite.

TurboTeddy · 27/05/2019 23:43

Hi MNHQ I think it's the light in the box ad causing the problem. I get the warning everytime it comes on screen.

I’ve just had it too on every thread I click into.

Zofloramummy · 28/05/2019 00:01

I’ve been having it all day and still ongoing. Mahoosive pain in the bum. Also keep getting ‘you’ve won’ pop ups from this site that are rather annoying!

GooodMythicalMorning · 28/05/2019 00:02

Zofloramummy · 28/05/2019 00:02

S1naidSucks · 28/05/2019 00:08

This is ridiculous now. I’m on my iPhone and the red one pops up every time I open ANY page.
