Popups on a mobile is ALWAYS a red flag Likelihood is there's something on the device but we'll do some digging on our side too.

If someone could please screenshot and also screenshot any of the google ads on the page at the time it would be appreciated. Don’t see how it can be on non jail broken iPhone - far more likely to be a dodgy redirect in one of the ad services. A forum I was a member of suffered from it and it turned out to be dodgy ads. Anyway, what are the odds Beedster and I have the same taste in “exotica”? 😜 Managed to grab a pic just now: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 ped Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 I reckon google have allowed a dodgy ad through. We use Adsense for some ads and it’s controlled by them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
