Pop-up adverts/spam when reading through Facebook
-
I am having the same issue. My blog is suffering because people can’t get through one post with a fake virus pop up. I pay for advertising to link to my blog, how can I get this issue settled?

Same happening to me too- sylvan.cricket pops up saying you have won and iPhone….. keen to hear when this issue is sorted as I’m having readers turning away 😢

Been hearing the same for my page too https://meandminimees.wordpress.com/
People coming from Twitter. Someone said they are using Safari. Says about getting free iPhone 8.
When I go to to the site using Chrome, all fine. Anything I should be doing? -

Just an update I am still seeing this issue of spam pop-ups on my blog kyberscorner.wordpress.com. As I stated before it seems to occur when viewing my blog or posts made on twitter via my iPhone. I would love a way to fix this, even if I need to pay for a simple plan. I don’t want followers to be worried to view posts on my website. I am not sure if anyone else see’s these pop-ups on my blog other than me but I feel it most likely would effect anyone and I would like to prevent that. Thank you for any help.

You can get all ads off the site with Personal plan. Please just note, while the plan is refundable for 30 days, if you use the domain credit to register a domain, that part is only refundable for 48 hours after registration.
Also, please know these types of ads should not be showing even if your plan allows ads. We’re hoping to have this resolved quickly.

@matthewblythe we’ve had most of our reports on iPhones so far – are you seeing this somewhere else too?

Hi folks – we are trying to get to the bottom of this. Can anyone confirm whether they’ve seen an ad like this on their site in the past few hours?

I visited my site a few times and no pop ups.
So far, it seems to be okay on my site again.
Thank you :) -

entropyalongtheway: can I kindly ask you to visit https://s.pubmine.com/print_my_info and provide me with the contents of that page?

Thanks everyone, it’s super helpful to get the timing and URL of when you see a popup. It would also help if you could be so kind and visit https://s.pubmine.com/print_my_info and send them here or to me directly (egill at automattic dot com).
I know it’s a lot to ask, but your help is invaluable in chasing down the cause of this annoying bug. Thanks in advance for any information you can provide us with!
