In the past week or so when viewing AFF on my phone via the browser I get this popup.

It doesn’t happen with any other website.

Is it an AFF thing, or has my phone been hacked?

If it’s not an AFF thing, any idea why it only happens when I’m on AFF?
 
Pretty much confirms it's an advertiser as originally thought. Without knowing which though, it's hard to determine how to report them. Can you recall what the ads were on the page before you got the pop-up?
There weren’t an ads, I was just clicking through to a forum thread when the pop up happened. I’ll try again.

Got it again. Peugeot and a trade showing. I was looking at replies to my posts.

Which then goes to this without clicking anything. It’s something that google ads is doing.

I’m only getting this on flyertalk and not AFF.
 
Has anyone had luck fixing this on an iPad? I only have problem on AFF with iPad (4G and WiFi). Have cleared all cookies and data etc. but hasn’t helped.
 
The Frequent Flyer Concierge team takes the hard work out of finding reward seat availability. Using their expert knowledge and specialised tools, they'll help you book a great trip that maximises the value for your points.

AFF Supporters can remove this and all advertisements

This is why I use an ad blocker.

Never encountered using one any problems on this website or any other. And no advertisers tracking my website browsing habits.
 
I get the pop up on my phone when on home WiFi (Telstra). Never get it on 4G (Vodafone). I’ve started turning WiFi off when accessing AFF.
