Rogue Adverts - Please report here

Ivo · October 19, 2017

I view the forum through Google Chrome on my Android phone and the past week or so the Google play app keeps opening up and asking me to install either william hill, some photo printing app or I think it was twitter. This only happens when viewing GOT. Its just happened twice in about 30 secs. I'm a paid up forum supporter so should this be happening?

Cheers,
Ivo

Hi Ivo.

Are you certain it's exclusive to GOT?

Nobody on here should ever have any prompt/pop up - can you please get a screenshot for me?

Also just had this, william hill advert, directed via google play.

Ive just got a new phone so I assumed it was something I was doing wrong, but this is the 2nd or 3rd time its happened now thinking about it, I dont recall if it was william hill everytime sadly.

Erm, Android phone google chrome.

No idea how to upload screengrabs yet, but it was just a normal google play page for william hill.

Been also getting redirected to 'Congratulations you've been selected to receive $1000 to Amazon (and Wal-Mart).'

Aware of an issue - thanks everyone. If you can grab screenshots (and bonus points for any URL), I'd be very appreciative to remove the rogue network

Play store is absolutely full of malware.

Thanks - don't half appreciate it. We recently changed who serves our ads and they're working hard to box this problem off - they think they've sorted it - can you all please keep me updated?

You should absolutely never be auto redirected away from here, or ever have an intrusive ad (auto play or pop up) anywhere on here. If this happens, something has gone wrong and we need to remove the rogue ad/publisher - screenshots/URLs are the best way to help us.
