Occasional Takeover Ads on Mobile

Occasionally you can hold the back button down and thesandtrap.com will be in the history of the back button, but then you're likely just loading the same page from a cache that got you the bad actor ad. So yeah, typing in a fresh URL or closing the window is the best way to go.

It will still pop up from time to time as ads load up. I found that hitting the stop button on my browser while the page is loading seems to help since the ad banner loads last. It's annoying though.

I read an article somewhere that said Google was working on a way to solve this issue in Chrome.

The URLs help please.

I couldn’t get onto this site hardly at all yesterday because of that same ad, but mine was for Apple users…

Sorry, no URL

The URLs help. Just copy and paste it.

I forwarded the domain name to the advertising network. They hate this shit as much as we do - it's a bad experience for everyone. And who falls for this shit? Enough people that it's profitable, I guess… 😛

At any rate, bad advertisers sneak some bad ads into the ad network, and it f***s with a few people, until it's rooted out and the advertiser is kicked out of the network.

It should be cleaned up soon.

This happened to me but now that I’m attempting to copy the URL it doesn’t happen 🤪
