Meghan Murphy lawsuit and Google

I entered "Meghan Murphy Lawsuit" into Google looking for her site which is
here

BUT
If I click on her link directly from Google it seems to be intercepted by something to do with iphones and you can't access the site from Google.

Am I a conspiracy theorist or are people at Google stopping access to this fund?

Please test yourself and let me know?
I'm on Android.

I got straight there on android.

Tried it. First time I got the lucky winner of iPhone thing, second time correct page, third time again lucky winner, fourth time correct page. Haven’t tried to see if I would also be a lucky winner on other google searches. Maybe coincidence?

I am also on Android. I had no problem getting there from the direct link you provided and no issue getting there from doing your exact search (Chrome>Google) and clicking on her site.

Sounds like you may have a redirect virus (or similar)... I would uninstall all newly installed apps as well as run malware and antivirus apps to kill your invader(s).

I'm on a desktop PC, Firefox with a noscript add-on, up to date antivirus bla bla. I get taken to the right page via the link on Google search but it then redirects me after a couple of seconds to a 'lucky winner' page.

I think the problem is with Meghan's site.

But it doesn't happen if I type the address in the bar so it's something to do with the google link.

Let's see what happens with a link from here -

That works OK. Maybe the problem is with Google after all.

This is exactly like the problem some have been having with mumsnet redirecting to dodgy sites -

Hmm

Yes I also only have the problem from Google.

DpWm · 03/04/2019 20:30

Yeah I can get to it from the link you've posted pencils
But not from Google.
Weird.

I still think the problem is more likely to be on Meghan's site. Websites monitor where traffic arrives from so malicious code could be using that as the trigger to redirect.

Google probably do hate Meghan but this is not their style, they'd just decrease the ranking or hide the link. Even if it was a disgruntled google employee, they'd find it far easier and less risky to put the code on Meghan's site than on the google search page.

I'd tweet her and let her know but ... Sad

Is she on Facebook? Can anyone get a message to her?
