Pop up ad on RHS. Possible scam

Is this a scam advert. Popping up all the time. Heading - "Thousands flock to ATMs after Clarkson's arrest ."
I stupidly clicked in and it appears to be some kind of dodgy investment ad. You can make thousands !!!!! If only !!!!

Hi there @ancientoak . Thanks for flagging this up. It's been a bit of a persistent problem. We'll have someone take a look at it right now. Could you tell us which thread or page you were on when you saw it? And if you see it pop up again, if you could send us a screengrab and/or a link to the url, that would be a huge help. Thanks again.

Hi again @ancientoak I've just checked this out with our ads team. They've said that you should try clearing your cache and cookies and that might get rid of it, but if you see it again, if you could click on the ad and then send us the url it takes you to, that would be really helpful. Thank you again. Flowers

It's stopped now !
Ad was on all pages. Took over from The DAZ ad each time

Thanks @ancientoak Hopefully that's the last you'll see of it.

If anyone else spots it, we'd be really grateful if you'd click on it, grab the url and post it here so we can find it again and get rid.

Thanks!
