There's a clearly fake advert re Sarah Cox popping up all the time, why is this? It's in very bad taste.

It’s ridiculous! Horrible.

TorturedMoetDepartment · 15/10/2024 09:18

Yes I noticed the same - very bad taste

MissAtomicBomb1 · 15/10/2024 09:22

Ugh me too! Her face is all bloodied.
I'm getting a similar one with Rachel Reeves. Clearly click bait but it's horrible!
@MumsnetHQ can you help?

Rinoachicken · 15/10/2024 09:22

Is that the one that says ‘finally she addresses the rumors’ with a picture of a woman with bad photoshop horrific injuries?

If so yes it’s horrific and upsetting and no idea why Mumsnet have allowed it.

MorrisZapp · 15/10/2024 09:23

It's some kind of awful spam, hopefully MN can tackle it.

Magnolia82 · 15/10/2024 09:24

Yes, it's horrible.

KatRee · 15/10/2024 09:25

Yes, it was around a few weeks ago and disappeared after it was reported and now it's back. Really horrible

Flavabobble · 15/10/2024 09:31

There's a couple of different ones of her, including on this thread.
They're usually some crypto scam.

CrushingOnRubies · 15/10/2024 09:32

Also reporting these advert.

The one of the chancellor was on this thread!

MaggieBsBoat · 15/10/2024 09:33

This is the second time these ads have come through. Really horrible.

Still happening.

And is it really necessary to keep posting the images? We all know what they are, they're appearing as ads in the very threads addressing them - you don't need to screenshot them.

ThePure · 15/10/2024 16:34

Happening again still now

Horrible. Please sort it out

BakeOffRewatch · 15/10/2024 16:35

Mine was Chris Tarrant. It was pretty horrible.

Hi all

We're sorry about this - we'll try and get them blocked as soon as possible.
We know what one of the adverts look like, but it seems they are using multiple adverts. This means there are multiple URLs that get around our blocks.

If anyone is able, please can you send us the URL of the advert when you next see it? If you are on desktop, right click the advert and choose 'copy link address' - this will give you the URL without clicking on the ad to open it.

If you're on the app, you can hold two fingers on the ad, which will open some options. Please press 'ad information' and send us the link from here.

BeckyAMumsnet · 16/10/2024 14:28

Hi everyone - this ad should be blocked now but do let us know if you see it or anything similar again.

Thanks, all.
