USA visitor, Nexus 6P running Chrome - I didn't grab a screenshot, but I got the mock Facebook ad (same as post 351) and was able to use my back button to return to FT. So, I guess that's progress...

Although we have not been able to put a complete stop to these issues, we are reading this feed every day and trying to stay as on top of this as we can.

Thank you for your patience.
Here's a thought: until you have gotten on top of it, turn off ads for mobile users. Once you think you have it all sussed out, bring them back slowly and gauge feedback.

Could you please confirm you do not condone data theft for the purpose of criminal activities and you are going to ensure this will not happen again ever ?
We will continue to try to screen the ads that are reported. But we cannot screen every ad before it hits the site, I'm afraid. Of course we do not condone any redirect ads of any kind.

This we can't do. We will do our best to provide the best, free mobile experience that we can.

Considering that I have never gotten a redirect from any other non pirate mobile site I find this hard to believe.

I concur, the action of IB do not support this statement.

You can, but you won't. There is a difference. I would speculate that it is because mobile browsing is increasing and is also quite lucrative for advertising, so it provides a healthy chunk of your revenue. Instead of getting people to whack-a-mole bad ads for you and saying that you can't screen every one of them, why don't you switch to a different advertising partner?

Multiple hijacks in the span of several minutes.
letgo ad is still a problem. (see quoted post for giant screenshots)

As I'm in the UK at the moment and receiving the SkyBet adverts with a variety of websites (even with a cleared cache) I've decided to submit a complaint about SkyBet to the Advertising Standards Commission, not sure if it will achieve anything, but its worth a punt (for want of a better word... :-)

FT should really get rid of those ads that hijack your mobile browser

Totally agree with this. +100 There are other travel sites out there. IB will only pay attention when a large enough group stops visiting the site.

I can only encourage you to complain to FT. If enough FTers complain, maybe Internet Brands will address the issue.
