I'm getting sick and tired of this mobfree.click crap on FT
 

Why does flyertalk partner with annoying popup sites? Flyertalk is now basically unusable on my iPhone. Yes, Flyertalk is the only website where I get redirected to this popup site.

I have been getting the mobfree.click when on FT (mobile) as well.

"Me too" for the mobfree.click which cannot be closed without killing the tab (iPhone latest iOS and safari). The first time I noticed this was mid-day yesterday and about 10-20% of my page loads -- including my initial search for this thread ironically -- are affected. :td:

All Disruptive Ads /Advertisement on FT - PLEASE POST SCREEN SHOTS
 

Not sure if it's been mentioned, but one ad is preventing me from using the FT mobile webpage. Keeps asking me to download a free app, and I can't find a way to bypass the page...

I've passed this on to Admin, and hope IB hasn't shut down yet for the serendipitous new year weekend holiday.

Sorry for the alien invasion. ;)

Hi guys,

We have nothing to do with the mobfree or other app store hijacks. Believe me, the last thing we want is to shoot you to some place off of FT.

This is an exploit hole that apple and google have failed to close, presumably because they are getting a lot of $ from these game companies. There has not been much we can do other than wait out the ads that are causing it, since they give no indication of which ads they are.

Thank you,

Paul

All Disruptive Ads /Advertisement on FT - PLEASE POST SCREEN SHOTS
 

Thanks for the reply Paul. Will try and route all my mobile traffic via the FT app until this is fixed.

Happy New Year/New Years Eve!

Thanks for the explanation. It certainly makes perfectly good sense FT would not at all want to divert us.

Happy New Year to you and everyone at Internet Brands!

As I've said before, you could switch to using more reputable and honest advertising providers. You say Google hasn't closed it, but I've never seen a Google ad that does this. Only ads on sketchy spammy sites, and yours.

Mobfree.click. I can't get to a page on flyer talk without it switching over to this spam site. iPhone safari browser.

Further to my message above, the multiple cascading error dialogs kept appearing as I traversed the site, and I was finally able to get a screen shot. This is pretty bad -- looks as if the ad may be trying to do something nefarious, and only because my Flash player is current was I spared.

Aggressive mobfree.click redirects in iPad
 

It took multiple attempts to even get this page loaded because of aggressive redirects to mobfree.click - "unlock this page to continue" spam. Happens when the flyertalk page is about 50% loaded as the ads are coming in. iPad iOS 9.2

Ditto. Incredibly annoying and disruptive.
