    COSTCO pop-up!!

    Just a heads up:

    This has happened a couple times now only on this forum.
    Just at random times a pop up that's says I won something from Costco pops up and takes over the whole screen on my phone. It's only happened on this forum.

    Just thought I'd throw it put there in case anyone else had it happen or metrompg can find a fix etc.

    I have had similar such incidents in the past, but never with my smartphone, and never Costco. It sounds like a redirect. In fact, I haven't had a redirect while browsing the forum in a long time. I was getting one randomly but it seems to have stopped for me.

    Hopefully someone with more knowledge on this can offer some assistance.

    I don't get anything like that on Chrome browser on Android. And I have Ad Block on my computers.

    I have more of a problem with phone call scams. Just 3 in the past 2 days claiming my social security was going to expire! xD

    Oh those spam calls are now out of control. I no longer answer the phone unless it's someone I know

    Yeah I do the same thing. If I don't have the number calling in my Contacts, I let the call go to voicemail. If the caller doesn't leave a voicemail, I block the number.

    I have a lot of blocked numbers.

    Are we long lost brothers haha. Yeah I have tons of blocked numbers. I wish they wouldn't even show up at all. They dont ring but it still shows you had a blocked call you have to clear

    Seriously, the ads are a pain we can cope with, but I wonder why so many trackers get activated when visting this forum...

    I like those emails demanding payment for taxes owed. Didn't know the government accepted itunes cards for unpaid back taxes. So I just sent them pictures of used cards, they got pretty upset. Then I tell them to get off the computer and back to doing what they're good at. Goats... Some of the reply's are too funny, especially when in broken engrish.
