Anyone else gotten SPAM pop ups the last couple of days?

Up until today, 12/1/2022, the “Congrats, Google User…” pop up rendered Audiogon unusable for me.  This had gone on 3 or 4 days…

Had a SPAM sandwich for lunch,

Oh my god, did you think of this yourself? Insightful, provocative, adding value to the discussion!

Yes, they started several days ago on my android phone. Fake Google and Kyocera "take a quiz and win a prize" phishing for bank card info.

Constantly. not to mention the navigation of Agon is painfully, slow especially on the pre-owned gear side.

I (thankfully) have not experienced this at all. I use DuckDuckGo as @hemoncdoc   mentioned on both of my IPads and my Android phone. Their tracking block works well also.

Pop up spam is back on my iPhone and is awful

+9 thanks, so far no popups been on about 20 min. That's a record for me so far in the last few weeks.

Thanks!

So here is an update for you guys.
We have been aware of this problem from day one.
Thanks to all of you that have reported it.
As of today, we think we have it under control but may not know for a week or two. Please continue to report any spam to support@audiogon.com, attention: Tammy. Fingers crossed we have figured out the problem this time and fixed it. Really appreciate everyone that had to put up with this.  

So Audiogon, it seems many of us have already done the usual assortment of things in an attempt to get this to go away. It doesn’t work. You have any ideas on your side?

Oh, BTW, at least in my case it only seems to happen on my iPad, not my iPhone, and only in the forums - not on the main site. 

I continue to get Spam on my iPad when using Safari.  I shut the program down, Clear the cache, and reboot the computer.  The spam immediately returns.  Safari is currently useless on this web site.

I switched to DuckDuckGo app.  So far I have not had any Spam issues using this app.

Yes, I agree these Spam popups are happening more frequently.  

I emailed 2 Popup examples (including images of the popup) to Audiogon customer support for their Developers to review.  Unfortunately, my suggestions above to clear Safari history, web site data and advanced web data has zero impact on this popup issue.  

Yes and it's happening more frequently.  Kicks me out of Agon everytime. 

So annoying- iPad issues for me too. Have cleared all data in chrome and still happening.

Spam - don’t knock it till you’ve fried it! 

My only pop-up experience was with Audio Research - obviously not typical spam.

Yup me too on Android through gmail on the daily recap. It literally just happened I won a prize!!!!! Lol happened again when I edited my misspelling

It happens on android too, and they are usually scam sites. Last time I reported anything to A'gon they wanted me to change my PC so I would use the same browser they do.

My ipad as well. I'm really sick of it.

Not often enough.

Yes,  all the time on my iPad! 

Yes. Happened today on my iPad with safari, but not duck, duck go.

Yes!   I also experienced Spam popups on Audiogon’s forums on Thursday and immediately reported them to Audiogon Customer Support.  I am using an iPhone.

After each spam popup, I removed the apps from memory and cleared my Safari history and web data.   I also went to settings, Safari and paged down to Advanced and deleted my Website data.  

Audiogon customer support is reviewing the issue.     

Yes!!

I got an Audio Research pop-up the other day.

Yes!!!
