Adverts promoting investment frauds

Right now around 75% of the adverts which appear when I’m on the site relate to businesses promoting various investment frauds (principally IC Markets). Is there something which can be done about this? I don’t think Mumsnet should be promoting criminal activity, and it’s just really annoying...

Hi OP

We're keen to investigate this.
Are you able to provide screenshots of these ads and can you let us know what device and browser you're using to access the site?

They actually stopped as soon as you posted the reply; but they have started again. Here’s one with a fake endorsement from Eric Bana.

Browser is Safari on an iPad at present, but I get the same using Chrome on a laptop.
