Ropey looking adverts.

Not sure if this is an issue, but I get lots of ‘ropey adverts’ pop up.

I’ve attached a screenshot of how the advert appears and then the site it takes me to.

They mostly seem to be related to the royal family.... and how I can be like them and make lots of money....

Yep, I’m getting them too - shonky and clickbaity. One last night contained misspellings you’d expect in a dodgy phishing email.

Hello,

We're really sorry about this - these adverts are 'ad choices' ads - so they are chosen by google, not us. We can block them but in order to do that, we need as much information as possible (as a lot of the time, these adverts are sneaky and will tag themselves as something they are not in order to slip through the block list).

Can you firstly get us a screenshot to the ad(s) causing an issue, and if you click on the advert, can you copy and paste the direct URL to us? This means we can block it right away. Turn wifi and data off prior to clicking on the ad - this will load the URL without actually loading the dodgy advert.

Thanks so much. Flowers
