Every time I login on mobile it works for about 20 seconds then redirects me to a walmart gift card page.


Probably got a virus from one of those Vegas betting sites.

I've tried using my phone with the desktop site over the past few days. It would be fine for the first 20-ish seconds and then redirect to weird ad sites. Today's (seconds ago) ultimately lands on secure.prizesuperb.online which is a "Congraluations Apple User! Your iPhone Has Won (1) Walmart $1000 Gift Card!" screen. Every single time.

PS - I only notice this happening from the Forums pages.

What ads are you guys getting? I've yet to have one pop up. Everything in this thread up until here has been blocked.


Using safari on iPhone iOS 10.3.2


FYI, took me 5 attempts to post this because kept getting pop ups and redirected

I'm having the exact same issues and I've never had a problem using the site on my iPhone until yesterday.

I'm getting so many pop ups they have now entered most popular sites visited on my phone.

What kind of phone are you using? I'm on the site all the time with my phone and haven't seen a pop up in weeks. I'm not doubting you but the more info we have the better.
Iphone 7. Happens more when off of wifi which I am throughout the day.

The site still runs a bit slowly on my phone, but overall, it's been a better experience the last 6 or so weeks.

Weird. I have a 6S.
I know it sounds a little tinfoil-hatty, and I'm struggling to find where I read about this, but supposedly some ad networks have ways of to track (via IP, cookies, etc.) site owners and purposefully do not serve up more "problematic" ads when they detect that you are viewing the site. Can't say for sure this is what's happening, but I've seen the same things the other posters have mentioned.

Getting a Hawaiian Tropic popup on a 7 plus almost every time I switch pages. Screen shot is too large to upload. No URL.
