It's happened a few times now. I'll be looking at the classifieds or an add and the page will automatically change over to some junk website. I'm using my
Iphone 5.
I took a screen shot of the website that poped up this last time. I'm going to upload it to the gallery once I post this. Give me 2 minutes.

I wonder if your iPhone is clicking on a banner somehow?

It just started happening the past 2 days. Nothing has changed on my end but I guess the iPhone could be playing games. It's not every add, just random. Is that one of the "sponsors" in the add banner? (The web site that I got that screen shot of)

Scratch that - I google'd it and I see a bunch of people reporting this issue from Google AdSense (which I use).

It is supposed to be fixed and blocked by Google yesterday according to a post I found but maybe it hasn't totally spread out yet.

If I can find out which ad is specifically causing this I will block it in my Adsense account.

On the Google Forums, I found 2 different ads to block that are supposedly causing this redirect.

I added them to my block list.
