Great, I think I have it narrowed down to the specific network. Lots to do still but this is a good thing.

Glad I'm not the only one, I've been getting it for a wile now and keep forgetting to make a post or look for a post about it. Last one was about 20 min ago

 

[Joe Link]

Anyone see it recently (last 5-10 minutes)?

 

[Rock solid]

Not here next time it happens I'll post here

I was getting the same pop-up when this thread was started, but I seemed to have cleared up the issue on my phone.
iPhone 6s: I cleared the my Safari history and website data in Settings, turned phone off, restarted, and haven't see it since.

Quickly fix it. I don't know how much more my phone can take from being thrown.

On a side note, when I close my safari and reopen nwfa it hardly does it...

I've got a new iPad Pro and it's been happening to me on this site several times over the last week. As a matter of fact as I was reading this thread it happened twice.

 

[Mygrainman]

has anybody tried it and received a gift card? Maybe it's legit!

 

[Bigbaddude]

Happen again at 6:38 pm

 

[Joe Link]

Thanks guys, keep the updates coming.

 

[JeremyK]

Must be Russian collusion!! (Has that joke been made already?)

 

[Joe Link]

Anyone get it this morning?

 

[etrain16]

Nothing so far, but haven't been on for long this morning.

Been following this thread. I'm on a PC and don't get it. Couple of questions when this is over if you don't mind @Joe Link ?

Wifey is on a pad but doesn't log on very often. I assume she would get it if she did?
Why doesn't a PC get this?
Is this a virus that will leave something on your phone/pad?
Is this something Amazon came up with?

I, and I imagine others, would like to hear the dirt on this "Thing" once you get it stopped. Just out of curiosity you know?

Thanks for all the hard work Joe.

No problem!

She would likely see it pop-up if she logged in with her iPad.
These malicious ads target specific devices so that they're not so easily identified and for other reasons. This one specifically targets iOS.
I can't say for sure, but I'm pretty sure it would not. Rather, I believe it's phishing for personal information.
I'm confident that Amazon has nothing to do with this.

Chances are we won't know much more than we know now once it's stopped. These types of ads are, unfortunately, all over the internet. What happens is these 'bad actors' purchase ad inventory from ad networks who literally display millions of ads per day, and then sneak in these bad ads. Due to the volume of ads served by these ad networks it can be very difficult to figure out exactly which customer(s) are doing this. What I've had to do is go through each and every one of our ad networks and try to pin down which one it is via process of elimination. I'm pretty sure I know which one it is now, and it'll be disabled until their adops team can figure out who the customer is and remove them from the network. Unfortunately this also means a fairly large drop in revenue for us, but no amount of money is worth having ads like this on NWFA.
