Clickbait ad leading to a scam site

[discobrain]

The picture I've attached here is very clearly clickbait, and links to a site that's absolutely a scam set up to look like a BBC page.

Surely Mumsnet should verify the legitimacy of ads before allowing them to appear?

Hi there @discobrain . We'd like to look into this straight away. Could you possibly send us the url for this ad and the url of the MN page you saw it on? If you could even tell us which thread or part of the site you saw it on that would be great. We need to track down where it's appearing before we can do any more. Thank you very much for letting us know.

Helllooo

I can't remember which thread exactly because I think it was something I read, but didn't comment on.

This is where the ad linked to, checked my browser history. I use the app so unless there is a thread history option, I can't pinpoint it exactly.

Thanks @discobrain . We'll start looking at this now.

Hi again @discobrain . Thanks again for the url - that was really helpful. It's enabled us to track down that ad and get rid of it. It won't be immediate but should be completely gone by this afternoon.

No worries thank you 🙂
