Annoying scam pop-ups

Have been getting loads of these since the new year (not before). Attached screenshots of the main offender, but seen another one as well. Clicking back will work but its something that needs to be looked at please! Happens on various threads. Using Chrome for Android, not logged in (not sure if that makes a difference).

Hi OP

Thanks so much for raising this and sorry that bad ads are causing issues.

You see the advert URL at the top - is there any way you can copy and paste that link for us so that we can try blocking it directly?

That's the other one, not such a long link. Thank you for looking at it Lily

That's a third very long link!

This is super helpful - thank you!

We're taking a look at this now and will update on the thread once we've got to the bottom of it.

MidnightCircus · 16/01/2020 15:33

Thank you very much! They're quite random, so it's a little strange

Something is trying to pop up here now!

I was getting so absolute horrors at work yesterday on my alert pop up. I mean really nasty stuff...

LouMumsnet · 17/01/2020 14:25

Sorry to hear that, @Lordfrontpaw - we'll have a word with our Tech team and let you know if there are any updates about this. Any screengrabs you can catch and post on here would be really helpful, although we know it's tricky.

Lordfrontpaw · 17/01/2020 14:29

It’s stopped doing it now. We’ve had the same in the office for the last couple of days.

MidnightCircus · 20/01/2020 07:15

Had another two this morning!

I've now blocked mumsnet from running JavaScript in Chrome (Android), which appears to have fixed the pop-ups. The happymobile one was getting ridiculous
