Please help! I have an iPhone 6 with the Popup Blocker on along with the Fraudulent Website warning on. I have IOS updated and have cleared my history. I keep getting a popup in Safari indicating I have won an Amazon gift card, Apple phone, etc. How do I get this to stop?
Please help,
Had the same one. Clearing cache, data, whatev didn’t help. Pop up blockers also didn’t stop it.
Fixed mine by going to the safari Settings—safari—advanced—website data—search and delete the site there or clear them all out.
I'm having the exact same issue. The the popup displays the url changes to 'cardagainsthumanity.top' Notice the 's' is missing in the word cards. Tried everything mentioned about, except adding a popup blocker, to no avail. Any other ideas?
Sorry if the post came across as a bit scammy, I was a bit excited to finally find a fix. I did have a problem to the point as to where my meme pages I visited were a nonstop bombardment of scam pop ups. Sites like ESPN and CNN were a once every few days and sometimes would pop up under certain articles, if I refreshed they were popping right back up repeatedly on only that article. Sometimes they’d pop up when I was almost finishing the article and drive me up the wall as I’d have to close the tab and go find the story again.
The app I was referring to has a ton of positive ratings in the App Store. Not everything is a scam and I wanted to help the community.
I get this too. I have a newly restored iPhone 7PLUS. Less than 24 hours old. And I just got one tonight while visiting All Recipies mobile website. (Not their app). I’m going to message them and tell them. I’m sure they wouldn’t want that on their website.
This cannot be true. I just updated my iPad to the current operating system and now I’m getting this pop up every time I go to one of my favorite websites. I haven’t had time to try any others. I have NEVER had this problem before under any of the previous operating systems. This has got to be on Apple.
Glad it worked for you. It is not a permanent solution but it cures the problem for me for a few weeks or months.
You can also try resetting the identifier first and see if that fixes the problem. If that does not, use the same solution you used.
Good luck!
i read that its due to poorly coded websites. i also tried deleting safari cache, installed other browsers, still see it somet
It isn’t every site, but it will NOT GO AWAY!!’!
SOS...HeeellllPP!!!
Continuously happening for me too
Same here. Incredibly annoying.
Can I add an ad blocker to Safari on the iphone7 that would stop this?
This solved it for me! Thanks!
I’m having the same problem and it is appearing on more and more sites! Apple please do something about this!
This only happens in my Chrome app
THAT is exactly where mine is happening!!!
Same issue - just started on bbc news website.
