What is this weird fake news advert doing on Mumsnet?

It then clicks through to an American fancy dress site.
What’s that about Mumsnet?

Poor Bear having his name used in this way. 😂

Hi OP

Can you get us the link to the ad? (click it with wifi turned off - it'll load the URL without loading the actual page).

That way we can block it! Flowers

Thanks ever so much for supplying those links, @Sharkyfan Flowers

We've passed this info on to our Ads team and they're on the case.

Please let us know if you see any similar ads, and thanks again for providing the links. Flowers

@justcallmepeter

Like this? 😂 I haven't clicked on it so I don't know where it takes us!
Oh, good grief!

Thanks @justcallmepeter. We'll flag this to the crew...

@AnyFucker

The "ad" is on this thread above my post right now
Thanks, @AnyFucker - the cheek of it!

Our ads team have blocked this one now. Please let us know if it pops up again - it's a persistent one, we'll give it that.

@FamilyMatter2020

Um, I've had this very ad for the last hour! Just this minute refreshed & it's gone. Didn't take a pic as hadn't seen this thread.
Hopefully it's been blocked now, @FamilyMatter2020, but please let us know if you see it again.

Thanks for posting all the screenshots. Our ads team have assured us they've blocked the URL across all display and mobile (yes, again!) and are investigating how this ad is still getting through.

And yes, @UncleShady - it's the missing apostrophe that's making this even harder to take. Wink

Oh dear, all this still rumbling on is getting hard to bear Grin

We'll let our tech team know.....
