Tired of pop ups from myLot while using mobile

United States
October 5, 2017 3:23pm CST
Who do I tag? @mylotbugs @GoAskAlice if I recall. The past 2 days that I’ve been using myLot on the go, I’ve received pop ups multiple times. If it’s helps i don’t surf my phones browser often and if I do it’s usually to read a product review or compare prices. I’m using a iPhone 7 Plus. Some were not pleasant pop-ups to view either. They were XXX Rated, but the one attached is a friendly one. Anyone experiencing this problem also? I did read another member experience pop ups but I forgot who it was. I did comment on it.

I've had them a lot in the past week or so (coincidentally, right after I installed iOS 11; also coincidentally, right after the time problem [just-posted discussions said they were "5 hours ago"] was resolved here). It only happens on myLot, and only on the iPhone and iPad. On my laptop, and on the Windows computer at work, no problem.

@FourWalls I got it twice today! Luckily it wasn't while using myLot standing in line or something.. Oh how does restrictions feature work on phone -or- is it possible to restrict on phone?

I just had this happen to me for the first time today (or yesterday I guess.) It was a popup saying that my phone had been infected with 4 viruses and that I needed to download some virus cleaner to get rid of them. So annoying!

@Courtlynn I don't like any pop ups and for sure not XXX rated crap either! Had I been in line and someone saw my phone pop up with that, that'd be embarrassing since its a pop up..

I keep getting ones that I've either won something or that I have 17 viruses, which I don't. I just get out of them.

@AkoPinay Yes another member showed me but it looks like I need to paste the link of the pop up to block it. I didn't save the link. :(

Woah!! That's very annoying and dangerous. I am using Android on a Nexus 5 and haven't had any issues. I haven't been active in the last few days though.

I think it was Laurel who had the problem. For some reason I am remembering her being the one with it. Ivw had two pop-ups today but nothing too bad.

I found out who - it was @maezee too then! I got 3 pop ups today, 2 XXX rated and 1 attached within less than 15 minutes. Not happy! Makes me can't myLot in public! Or else people might think I'm crazy!

I decided to go on myLot from my phone recently. Hadn't happened until that day but the first thing that popped up was that I have a virus on my phone. This made me panic so I closed the browser and cleared the history. And then tried to go on again and other pop ups had appeared. I think those were asking me to buy something, though don't remember. All this made me update to the new iOS finally. Since then, I hadn't gone to mylot from my phone for fear of pop-ups appearing again and mainly those telling me phone has a virus, as that is the last thing I want to happen. Maybe it was my post you had commented on. I wrote about something like this happening to me.
