A malware banner at the bottom of my Mail page
This banner has appeared on the bottom of my Mail page on my iPhone 11 (iOS 16) this morning. A Google search suggests that AlertsDeal is a widespread scam that people seem to sign up for accidentally, and which sends regular, unsolicited text messages you haven’t asked for, ‘alerting you to deals’ you don’t want, and at a cost of £1.50 a time. I’m pretty careful about what I click on, and the only thing I’ve knowingly signed up for recently has been a BP Pulse account (for EV charging).
I’ve spoken to my phone plan provider, and they have altered my Spending Manager to £0.00 and seem confident that DealsAlert can’t take money. They’ve also reported them to their security people.
Also, I visited the hard-to-find DealsAlert unsubscribe page, and unsubscribed. I definitely didn’t touch anything else on the website.
I think I’m safe from theft.
However, the ‘DealsAlert.Club’ banner is still on the bottom of my Mail page, and I’d be grateful for help getting rid of it safely.
elp getting rid of it. I haven’t pressed or touched it.
