Scam Pop Up on Boards

fergiesfolly

I keep getting a Google competition on Boards on my phone. Doesn't happen on any other website.

Anyone else having this issue or have a solution?

Yes got the same pop up this evening on my Android.

Mine seems to have stopped the last few minutes.

Clearly Boards are involved or have been infiltrated

I stopped getting the pop-up within 5 minutes of starting this thread.

Which is worrying me more than the actual Pop-Up

Xander10

Yes I won too

PTH2009

Same

Arghus

Yeah, getting it all the time.

Not good boards.

Yes, but why would Boards be behind it? Is it not maybe an attack?

It's probably just some kind of ad using JS to redirect - Boards seems to use some other company rather than Google ads for delivery

My prizes are better than yours

Princess Calla

I was getting these too....now I'm getting a big red "deceptive site" warning page.....never got that before

CastorTroy

Getting it as well.

Must be my lucky day, winning this the same day I get an email saying I'm getting a credit card with 10 million dollars on it after millions was recovered from scammers as part of a worldwide multi-organisation operation.
