Pop up Message on Blog
-
When I have clicked the link to my site I have gotten the following message:
http://www.wimirk.site
WARNING!This Apple IPhone is infected with viruses and your browser is severely damaged. You need to remove viruses and make corrections immediately.
It is necessary to remove and fix now.
Don’t close this window.
**If you leave, you will be blocked.**
The only option in the pop up is to click OK. I have been cautious not to click OK because I don’t know where it would take me. I have been forced to force close the app in order to get back to the blog. I don’t want anyone coming to the blog to experience this issue. Please help.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hi @freneticperipateticsite, thanks. We don’t like ads like that. We’re reporting that to our ads team to see if they can find it and remove it.

Thanks so much! Now there’s another pop up that is coming up when I click the link I shared on Facebook that directs to the post. This one says, “Congratulations, you’re today’s lucky visitor!” Please help!

@freneticperipateticsite can you get a screenshot of the pop up? We have checked with our ads team and they don’t see any ads like that in our system (we don’t allow them). But if you’ll get a screenshot and upload that, it may help.

Do you think this is a browser related malware issue? https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/spam-pop-up?replies=4
Here’s the result of the scan of the site https://sitecheck.sucuri.net/results/freneticperipateticsite.wordpress.com/

You can use http://snag.gy/ or http://cloudup.com to share screenshots and link to them here. If you use the WordPress.com guide for screenshots http://en.support.wordpress.com/make-a-screenshot/ you can and upload it to your Media Library, and return to this thread to provide the file name so Staff can examine it.

@timethief the site doesn’t have malware, but the phone might. I’m thinking a screenshot or two may help, though, so we’ll know what they’re seeing.
Thanks for posting those instructions!
