SBarry Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 I've also had this issue on my iPhone but hasn't happened in a few days. You usually see this type of spam on click bait websites with the links to other click bait articles at the bottom of their page. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oblivions Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 I wonder if it's a malicious bit of JavaScript in an ad getting served through the banners on the site? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lexicondevil Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 This happened to me for the first time today. Luckily, my anti-virus software blocks the site. I guess no more VC on my phone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGhostOfRandySavage Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 It's like every 30 seconds on my phone, and it's fucking annoying. I mostly hit this site on my phone while I'm at work, so I'll be very infrequent from here on out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THE_James_Champ Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 Yep. It's really bad. Please turn off all ads or remove the one that's causing this. I can't even get to a thread on the main board without it triggering. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dominic_ Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 This is fucking cancer. I guess instead of getting some ad revenue from me leaving you unblocked on my adblocker you get none because this is unusable. No sympathy either, it's been a long standing issue. Thanks evil overlords @ SRC EDIT: THAT HAPPENED FUCKING TWICE TRYING TO TYPE THIS MESSAGE @admin Seriously? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fowty Dollaz Posted April 4, 2018 Share Posted April 4, 2018 Yeah, I've been dealing with "CONGRATULATIONS!" bs for a month now. Pop-ups are blocked, but it straight takes me to a different site and tries to let me know I've "won" some garbage. I just had it happen 5 times while responding to a post. Its super duper annoying. It even happens if my phone is off, so long as I didn't "kill" chrome. It's weird for my pocket to robotically yell "CONGRATULATIONS!"

Its a rogue app. Go to settings, apps and just look for one that doesn't appear like it belongs. Mine was an ebay something another (NOT THE EBAY APP) and all was well in the world.

It was happening on mine, and I do not have any apps that I haven't downloaded myself. It's malware in the adlink itself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[Banned User] Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 This spam/virus thing has been popping up recently again. About a 35% chance it happens whenever I open a page on VC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
