One of your adverts is carrying the Amazon voucher scam. It invites you to do a short survey as you have 'won' a £1000 Amazon voucher. This came up on my phone using Safari and now I can't access AB at all as this page is now blocking access. I have Chrome on my laptop and its not affected as I use an adblocker (sorry but your ads are so unstable ) . Just a heads up for anyone reading this don't click on anything to do with surveys for an amazon voucher, it's linked to malware.

This is a really serious matter.

I doubt that you will hear anything from Ed over the weekend. However, there is surely someone on duty in AB Towers who is able to throw some light on the fact that such adverts appear on our screens; unless we use AdBlockers.

There are a number of scams in respect of Amazon. I have had a few telephone calls to inform me that my bank account has been debited the cost of renewing Amazon Prime and to press one for full
details. I do Not use Amazon Prime Delivery Service and ignore the
call, which would probably take me to a supposed member of Amazon who would ask for my Bank details to arrange a refund of the debit.

Hans I know, its a pretty nasty malware that can be downloaded. I must admit I was nearly taken in as I often do surveys but when something looks too good to be true it usually is. Unfortunately just clicking on the thing to try and get rid of it has blocked my phone as this damn ad pops up, just when accessing AB so I know its come from an ad on here. I'd be interested to hear if any other users who use Safari have had similar problems.
I got popus/takeovers as well and have posted.

Now using an ad-block browser so that I can actually use AB
I had the same problem this morning. I didn’t click on it and am now using a different device.

Someone should let Admin know. Are there no moderators about that can contact someone?
There's a 'contact us' link at the bottom of the page ?

I've had this six times so far today

Hopefully this will get sorted this morning………..
We have hopefully rectified the issue. However, please let us know if it persists.
Late reply, but as a rule, never click on anything.
