Are any of you getting that irritating amazon ad - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**Boog** · 03-17-2018, 07:58 AM

I am getting it through this site.

**Grumpy old man** · 03-17-2018, 08:13 AM

Amazon

I'm a price shopper and I always find better deals than what Amazon offers on the same part .

**Boog** · 03-17-2018, 09:29 AM

Its a popup telling you are selected to receive a gift from amazon. Free phone or a couple other gifts. Just answer this question and you have 90 seconds to do so. You cant x out of it either. Ive never bought anything from them. Its popped up 6 times so far this morning.

**Stocker** · 03-17-2018, 10:06 AM

I have not seen that ad (or any other popups). I use Firefox, dunno if that's the reason....

**special-K** · 03-17-2018, 10:49 AM

I was just on Amazon yesterday ordering rallye wheel paint and I haven't seen it ,yet. I'm on Firefox, too. I have a nest ad at the bottom (some kind of doorbell I never heard of) and at the top is Ram of course. What other ad would be right? Not that I've shown any internet interest to any Dodges, I mean Rams.

Delete your cookies in settings and it should disappear.

I have an IPad. Deleted cookies and is still there

**truckster** · 03-17-2018, 08:09 PM

It's not from Amazon. It's a popup using their name for phishing. You have malware on your iPad. Unfortunately, Malwarebytes doesn't make a product for iOS, but you might search Apple forums to find an answer.

**Boog** · 03-17-2018, 08:51 PM

Well i erased the history on this iphone and that popup seems to be gone. Damn scammers! They are a real “boil on the butt of humanity” ! to borrow a line from a movie.

**Boog** · 03-18-2018, 04:30 AM

Well its back!

57taskforce · 03-19-2018, 05:58 PM

I had problems with it from about 230-4 mountain time this morning. I got the lucky pleasure of spending most of the early morning hours out in the field working on an Ajax compressor. I checked the site a few times during that time frame on two different Iphones, and had nothing but problems with the Amazon ad. Went to bed and got up late this morning and the board has been fine ever since.

**Boog** · 03-19-2018, 06:54 PM

This is happening on my i phone. I tried a different fix today. I did a reboot then cleaned all history and cookies. Then did another reboot. Its been a few hours now. I hope the crap is gone.

**Boog** · 03-20-2018, 09:56 AM

It came back today.

Fitz57 · 03-20-2018, 07:54 PM

Did you reset the network settings? You might have to erase all content and settings

**71CHEVYSHORTBED402** · 03-20-2018, 08:24 PM

No, but I can tell you an internet scam may come up if you enter "Amazon" into Google search. It comes off the first choice on the list, assuming they planted a cookie of some sort.

The bastards have tried planting a bug on my computer for months now. "They" nest on Yahoo as well. Emails on occasion from "Microsoft". Even thought I Spam them I get some.

To lose that ad, try clearing temporary files, cookies and passwords. Odds are it works.

**Boog** · 03-24-2018, 07:22 AM

I'm afraid to say anything but I went one day without it popping up, so far.

**Getter-Done** · 03-24-2018, 08:36 AM

I have not got the pop up in a few days either.

Fitz57 · 03-24-2018, 11:07 AM

Mine stopped too, but not from anything I did.
