Scam Redirect from tappedout

TappedOut forum

Posted on April 12, 2018, 5:43 p.m. by Chiberia

I was looking at my Bruna deck (Ojutai Voltron Control 1.0, and that image popped up as well as a pop up that I closed instantly out of reflex so I didn't get an image of it, but it redirected me from tappedout, so I thought I'd post it here to let an admin, or whoever know.

My PC also got about 25 viruses following this.

I assume its from that anyway, but I could be wrong, I don't have active protection (too expensive for me) so that might be wrong

A popup came from this page, a whole new page, a lot like popup ads do.

I just thought I'd report in case it was anything major, if its not you can delete the threat

reading over what I've said it doesn't make sense, I apologize

I was going through my deck, and I clicked on a part of the page on the page out of habit and the page in the image came up, when I clicked again a pop up came up, an ad I think, I closed it before it loaded. Following it I did a virus scan and got a ton of adware, and posted this here.

As a mobile user, I experience this literally daily. To a point where I have to force close safari and reload TappedOut from the root. Theyre usually Amazon ones and renders one unable to back out or anything. Its super annoying when sometimes you just want to look at decks. I must add that there isnt anything seemingly that triggers it, rather Ill just be reading along and out of no where; force redirect. So the OP isnt alone, though Ive not experienced it on PC. I also rarely used TappedOut on PC browsers, but dont recall having the same issue.

For mobile users I recommend downloading an ad blocker like neverads Which blocks all ads from all sites for FREE, this of course includes the annoying ads that dont let you back to the site you were originally on.
