Keep being taken to a BT Survey page (scam?)

Multiple times this morning I've been half way through a thread when suddenly I'm on a page telling me I've been selected as a BT customer to do their free survey. The URL is not a BT one - it's eu.attractionsdisneyland.xyz so it's clearly some kind of scam. It's only happening on MN, is there a bigger issue?

chrome, and a desk top for me sending me to a 3 competition page as a winner

MillicentMartha · 04/05/2020 10:57

This is the Virgin media one. While trying to post this I’ve been taken to a BT one as well.

Me too, several times this morning on iPad. Very annoying!

CaveMum · 04/05/2020 11:01

Happening to me too on an iPad, twice in last 5 minutes.

MotherofTerriers · 04/05/2020 11:02

Me too

Mysterian · 04/05/2020 11:02

Yup. On different sites. I've reinstalled Adblock. No issues now.

Witchlight · 04/05/2020 11:02

Me too. I think I will give up Mumsnet today, until you get it fixed.

It is Virgin and I use Safari.

Thanks

Hi thanks for all these reports. Please can you let us know the thread/page you were on when you saw this? We're taking a look now and will hopefully get to the bottom of this. Flowers

CaveMum · 04/05/2020 11:04

It’s happening to me on multiple pages, one minute I’m reading a thread then I’m suddenly redirected.

BuddleiaTime · 04/05/2020 11:06

Multiple

soniamumsnet · 04/05/2020 11:07

Thanks @CaveMum we'll take a look and keep you posted. Flowers

SquigglePigs · 04/05/2020 11:09

I've had that for Virgin media a few times this morning.

ZeroFuchsGiven · 04/05/2020 11:09

Site is unreadable

MillicentMartha · 04/05/2020 11:15

@soniamumsnet I was on this page!

pilates · 04/05/2020 11:15

Yep every thread I’ve gone into it’s doing it

MillicentMartha · 04/05/2020 11:15

Just happened again. On this page again!

WaferThinIce · 04/05/2020 11:17

ChardonnaysPetDragon · 04/05/2020 11:19

Same here, Virgin, safari

Jacquel · 04/05/2020 11:50

Me too, a sky thing. I use iPad, and it was coming up numerous times on different threads. In the end I googled how to block sites and did so. So far, it seems to have worked 🤞 I only put this first part of the web address in, it started eu.attractions. Go to settings, screen time then content and privacy settings.

PenCreed · 04/05/2020 11:58

@soniamumsnet It even came up when I was trying to start this thread!

Yes, I have the BT one constantly, so annoying! I'm actually with BT but I want to switch provider just because they have such intrusive marketing.

PrivateD00r · 04/05/2020 12:39

It has happened on every thread I have been on, including this one. Mine is for BT but we aren't BT customers.

Giggorata · 04/05/2020 13:13

Me too, on multiple pages. A right pain.. makes the site practically unusable at the moment.

1066vegan · 04/05/2020 13:21

I'm on the app on my phone at the moment. Was supposed to be working on the laptop earlier but got bored and was going to do a bit of mumsnetting for a break. I went on a few threads on AIBU but got the BT fake ad.

At least it got me back to the wfh that I should have been doing in the first place.
