anyone else getting phishing popups ?

Anyone else getting popups browsing in this forum? I am posting here in the cables forum because this is the place I have received this phishing popup. I have not seen them in any other forum, or website. 

My AVG stops the popup from happening, but one of my laptops on Malwarebytes does not, and the cable forum webpage becomes a fake McAfee anti virus popup (ironically) which states you are infected "click here" . I have had one before which said I won a prize also in this cable forum. 

Since I cannot post a picture of this screen shot of this fake popup I have a link to the image via dropbox if you are curious to see what this looks like

Please respond if this has also happened to you, as when I reported this to Audiogon admin they state I have been the only one to do so.

...I get email bs near daily of this sort....one, two a day, various iterations of my e/m names...easy to pick off into the spam bucket, from lengthy addresses to bizarre typography....

If anyone can materialize a 'counter-bot' to go fry their drives, I'm your test crash dummy test pilot.... ;)

(...the fear being that 90% of the 'net might go with it....

....but the damn nest mess would simply re-appear and be worse in 24....

😖😬

Haven't had any here...yet....🤞
