Pop Up Spam

It just happened to me again this morning. Tha Amazon prize one.

@GnocchiB, go to Settings/Safari/General and turn on Show Tab Bar. Then, e.g., if you’re looking at Latest Posts, touch and hold (long press) the link you want to open. Then tap on Open in New Tab. If you get a pop-up, then tap the tab’s X in the tab bar and it should disappear. If it’s not a pop-up, tap the X when you’re done reading the post and you’ll end up back in Latest Posts. I hope this works for you and helps!

Just got Amazon pop up. Followed by screen about security. Screenshot and sent.

Three times today. Frustrated.

Guys, thank you for sending us screenshots, they have been very helpful. Our Ad Network is working diligently to weed out the bad ads that result in the pop-ups. They’ve taken into account all the info/screenshots that you provided to try to locate the source and have made additional tweaks to try to reduce the amount, but are also in the process of adding a new product that should catch the ones that we can’t track down. We appreciate your help and patience as we try to find a permanent fix. Thanks!

Thanks…I had a couple goods days and now they are back :frowning: but thanks for continuing to fix.

Tempting fate . . . but none lately.

It’s back! Amazon pop up this time. Will get a picture to send next time. Had to come here to remember where to send.

This is new, but related. I keep getting redirected to app download sites. I press the “back to CC”
arrow and it happens a dozen more times. I have to shut my iPhone completely down to disconnect from whatever site is causing it.

Just got the amazon pop up spam, screenshot it and emailed it to adminATcollegeconfidentialDOTcom

Thanks for reporting and for the screenshots, guys! I’ve flagged this with the tech team.

@austinmshauri I have had the same problem.

Me too

Guys, I’m not sure if this is possible, but can anyone copy the ad source that is generating the spam pop ups? This would imply right-clicking on the ad and then copying the link. Just make sure not to open the ad. Thanks a lot!

I did that several pages back, @CCadmin_Sorin . Don’t know if at a new ad with new source code.

Got it! Thanks, @jym626! Can anyone please confirm that this is same source? We’ve had work done with the Ad Network, so we want to establish if this is the same issue as before. Thanks!

@CCadmin_Sorin

I just sent you two screen shots. One from Amazon…and the other the same as in post 116.

IPad Air 2, current IOS, CC through safari.

I got the amazon pop up ad on my Iphone a little while ago
