Dodgy advert with prince Harry & Megan

[toomanyhobbies]

Why are you allowing a dodgy bitcon advert with a pic of Harry & Megan on it with a fake bbc report about how you can make millions

Why not.

Didn't realise this topic was site stuff. Sorry. hope somebody comes along with a sensible answer.

@vivienmary haha :)

It's one of those dodgy clickbait adverts. If try and report it as a dodgy advert you get Buy Mumsnet Premium pop up. A
Sorry if they are going to sink to clickbait to get people to buy they're dodgy premium membership, it's a new low and probably turn off more than they get in

Hi there and so sorry that you're being bothered by this as it doesn't sound right at all.

We're having a look into this now but it would be really helpful if you could let us know which device and browser you're using. Screenshots would also be great.

Thanks all.

I saw it earlier, on my android mobile using the mobile site on chrome. Thought it looked iffy and didn't click on it so I can't comment on where out would have directed me to.

@LouMumsnet
There is already a screen shot reporting this dodgy ad on another thread in Site Stuff, the thread title is "We're thanking the Royals?"
Hope that helps you.

On chrome mobile site Samsung s9

Thanks for the detail bruffin - much appreciated.

We'll be cross referencing the other thread AdaColeman mentions too so that we can figure out what's going on here.

We'll get this sorted as soon as possible; thanks for your patience.

Funnily enough it’s coming up in this page!!! I ta a giggle add I’m on the mobile site via Siri.
It’s really not good to allow such dodgy adverts on the site

I’ve seen this one a lot too

Hi all,

Thanks so much for the screenshots - it's much appreciated, and super helpful. We've sent all the information over to our tech team and hope to have these blocked very soon - do bear with us, and if you see any more, let us know.

Was just about to report this ad.

Jesus. Your tech “team” and your monitors don’t even notice your own website being spammed with dodgy adverts. The public has to bring it to your attention, eh?

And yet you’re running out of money paying all those salaries.

Just out of interest, how do these clickbait ads get on the site if they're unwanted? Hackers? Or did MN not realise what was being advertised?

Its Google lead adverts

This one is on this thread.

@bruffin but surely MN allow google to advertise its adverts. They must have some control over what they will allow

I dont know how it works,

Hi @ponygirlcurtis and @HoneysuckIejasmine - thanks for the screenshots. Our Ads team have now blocked these ads.

Please let us know if they pop up anywhere again.

Seen it several times today on mobile site on iPhone.

Hi stars,

Thanks for letting us know - we're just asking the team to block it now.

@LouMumsnet shame this ad was reported
10 days ago and low and behold it’s popped up again guess the tech team never got around to blocking it!

I've been getting them for weeks and ignoring them, and the Bear Grylls one. I didn't think MN had anything to do with them tbh.

Hello,

These are ad-choices adverts but we can block them if we have the URL - can you grab the URL for us? You can do this by clicking the ad with wifi and data turned off, so it loads the link but not the ad.
