pop up problem with a website on safari

Hello, I'm experiencing a problem with a site that I use frequently for a game I play where it giving me pop ups of saying my iPhone has been infected and a VPN service which I know are scams and close the tabs immediately. I cleared my site data and history but it still seems to appear after. This doesn't happen with any other sites I use so i dont know if there is a problem with this site or my iphone some how got compromised.


Any advice would be helpful

You're getting them because the site you visit is being paid huge sums of money to let scum send scam messages. I just won't visit any site which permits such things. I'd find another game to play if I were you.


Or instead of playing the game via Safari, find the game, if available in the App Store.

Yeah, I checked their twitter but they haven't posted anything about it. is their a way I can find out what ad service (I'm not sure if that is the correct term) they use without contacting them?


Sorry, that would also be a question for them. Sometimes you can see the ad provider next to the ad but, often, you do not.
