Default Fake Amazon Banner

Anyone else having a problem with a fraudulent Amazon banner popping up on this mobile site? Shows up on every other thread I look at, and you can’t back up into the forum. Happens only on this forum so I suspect the website has been hacked.

Lots of complaints have been registered about the wonky mobile site. Have a look at the feedback section.

I know that Graham is aware but it's now up to Interbrands to fix it.

I get the "your phone has been infected with 4 viruses" popup/redirect on occasion when visiting from my mobile phone. Does not matter what browser and it even did this after a fresh factory reset. There is certainly an issue with the mobile site that needs to get cleaned up.

All good confirmation, guys. Thank you. I have personally seen it on 3 different phones and different OS. It's real aggravating.

Yes been happening for months there is a thread on abusive mobile ads running in the website feedback section.

Seems the site owner either doesn’t care or doesn’t want to deal with it. They would need to resolve via the third party advertising delivery networks they have contracted with.

I wouldn't mind so much if there was a way of recovering the page, but you have to delete the page and reenter the site to get around it.

This has been happening to me for a couple months, also on the Corvette forum. For The iPhone I download AdGuard, fixed the issue.
