Dodgy pop up just served by NSC on my phone.

See below. After clicking back it then led to a red screen with a countdown timer to install software or my phone would be corrupted or something. Obviously a scam so a warning to others and [MENTION=6886]Bozza[/MENTION]. Pages are also taking a long time to load on my phone!

Tracing its origins, it stems from a server in the Cayman Islands and linked to a limited company there with a single shareholder - Pablo Emilio Barber.

These things are notoriously difficult for me to trace. A quick glance suggests it's almost certainly targeted at Android users, which means I'll never see it myself, which makes my task even more difficult.

The ad companies do get these rogue ads sneaking in from time to time and they usually get rid of them pretty sharpish.

All I can really suggest is either use the NSC mobile view from your phone (scroll to the very bottom of the page and select it from the dropdown) or use Tapatalk.

I get this on the argus all the time and nowhere else. Have you been on there? I can't use it on my phone anymore.

The Argus is the worst. A jumpy webpage, riddled with pop up questionnaires, ads, and so on. Whether you ad block or not.

The loss-making publishers so desparate for ad and links revenue, that they're force feeding these to website visitors.
