PSA: MBWorld Forums iPhone Scamming Pop-up
I got three consecutive scamming pop up ads when on the forum using my iPhone. The web browser screen will lock - forcing you to click the scam. Each time I deleted & reset my safari settings and it cleared it out. Just thought I'd post this as a PSA.

Thank you for letting us know. Are you using IB Garge Talk mobile app?
If possible please capture a screen shot of the ad. IB has been removing ad partners that serve hacked ads, more work to do.

MBWorld Fanatic!
I get this all the time also, it’s coming through the ads even when logged in, on my iPad and iPhone for past few months. Only happens on this site clear history and comes back, only disabling java script in safari stops it.
it is a redirect and pop up with this text.

Hi,
I have been dealing with the same pop up ads, they are coming from hacked ads. The ad blocker I linked below works for me but it can take a couple views for it to block the pop ups. I hope that helps.
