Dishonest advertsing on FT
 
I just got an advert on a FT page from www.ashoppingspree.com


CONGRATULATIONS!
You're todays 1,000,000 visitor to this website!

This links to a page that promises a $1625 reward. But Googling suggests (as you would expect) that they first demand your credit card number, then send you a worthless discount off a holiday.

Not a great surprise, but do we really have to put up with this dishonest spam on FT? :mad:

Were you the 1 millionth visitor to FT or to the ad site?

We'll get this advertiser blocked. These come through networks. We aren't selecting the particular advertisers ahead of time. Thanks for pointing this out...it helps as we can add them to our block list.
