Phishing ads intrusive and block me using the site

I’ve previously had this problem and now it’s back. I log on to mumsnet and read one thread say, and when I hit back this ad comes up in full screen instead. It’s impossible to go back from it. The only thing I can do is close the window and start over, but I only get one click before the ad comes back. Also it’s clearly a phishing ad purportedly from my internet provider about a “prize”, but badly spelt and worded. Am using safari on an iPad.

Link to the ad I see:

Hi OP

We're getting this one blocked now.
Can you let us know what device and browser you're using and if possible, show us some screenshots? Flowers

Hi @banivani and @Notwatchingtvtoday - sorry for all the inconvenience these ads have been causing. These have been blocked now, but please let us know if they pop up again.

Nice work, thank you! I see the question about browser etc from @LilyMumsnet but I already wrote that in my OP. Didn't take any screenshots (posted link instead) but will do next time.

Thanks, @banivani - we're glad this appears to be sorted now. Smile
