Annoying Pop-Ups

[CayugaJana]

These pop ups keep coming up on the app. And you can’t close out. I phone 8, phone updates done. No other pop ups noticed but this sight so far.

I would not click on it as it looks like a "win a million dollars if you give us your social security number!"scam.
Are you part of the columbus telephone company?

 

[CayugaJana]

Yes it’s just like other pop ups I’ve got on here before. Bleck.....

We hate these ads too! They sneak through our filters, but we do what we can to seek-and-destroy them.

People’s drive to do wrong is just disgusting sometimes.

I have been getting the same exact one today except it says Comcast instead. Creepy how they know exactly what company you use.... I had this issue a while ago with the Amazon pop ups but then it stopped and I haven’t had the issue until today with this pop up. It keeps happening.

Just got the pop up on Chrome too. I decided to try an experiment to see if I would get it on Chrome because sometimes I find Chrome’s security/pop up blocking to be better. Well... still got it. Since deleted Chrome so idk if I would get it again, I don’t really use Chrome anymore, used to all the time but mostly use Safari now. And on Safari I hav gotten this pop up maybe 6 to 10 more times just within the last half hour, hour, since my post. I clear my history every time it happens.

This is a screenshot of the Chrome one.

And here is what I hit. I don’t just clear history, I go into settings and clear all Safari data and also clear my keyboard history while I am there too. That is probably unrelated but I do it anyway. And as you can see, I do have pop up blocking on but it doesn’t work. But that said, I do find in general that Apple products seem to be more susceptible to pop ups and stuff. I seem to have less issues here and elsewhere on my phone (Android) but I have had issues there too but less so. And my phone has been broken for a while so can’t use it. I exclusively use an iPad now. I don’t even know where my laptop is anymore ha but I can find it and test it there if needed. But I am on a new iPad, just got it at Christmas, will find the exact model for you.

Okay, iOS 12.1.4 and it says it is up to date. I could not find info on the Safari version. Idk where that would be?? But I assume it is up to date too.
