i managed to take a screenshot of the page .

It came from :eu.mostpreciouscard.world

Bizarrely , I was on my iPad and not iPhone .

I will contact Vodafone shortly 

Has anyone else received this ?

Just spoke to Vodafone . Basically , whenever you press "agree " or "allow" then 3rd party companies can contact you in this way .  Vodafone have placed a bar on this so that I don't get any nasty bill surprises if I accidentally pressed a button .

no probs with Vodafone . Great service . 

I now have to go into my browser and delete : history/ cash cookies . 

I suppose it's a heads up if anyone else has experienced this 😼

Hm the IP is a vodafone broadband one (your home WiFi?) 

Ah just seen your reply, glad it's sorted... 

[RAY AGAINST THE MACHINE]

Thanks ped😺

I firgot for a moment , that maybe I should have posted this in site issues ? 

Yes it's my home broadband .

In a way , it could happen on any site I was browsing on, but it just happened to be Basschat 😸

all the best

Yeah I'll whack it in site issues in case it helps anyone else.

Cheers

I got it this morning.  Opened up Safari on my phone & got the pop up (BC is usually the last page I was on, so it's normally the first page to open).

Closed Safari & opened again.  all fine.

I've had it too - I think some of the ads are hijacked...

[Woodinblack]

Yep, I had it here, just looking round if anyone else had, first time I saw anything like that.

[RAY AGAINST THE MACHINE]

Okay . This is getting weirder by the minute . I was just browsing on another forum and no problem .

As soon as I came here, I saw the bell noting me of additional  comments . Then all of a sudden, the same page appears and my iPad was getting redirected to that  site . It seems that basschat have got it from somewhere .

Must be one of the google ads. It happened before and they sorted it, I’ll report it

[RAY AGAINST THE MACHINE]

I just logged in here . Again . Straight away , it's here . When pressing the 'close ' button it doesn't shut down the page.

it goes straight to the marketing site . 

Annoying

Ive had similar but from Virgin media twice last week. Definitely not legit.
