Default Amazon ad pop ups
Maybe it’s just me, but they keep popping up again when I’m on my iPhone or iPad....

I thought this issue was fixed.....

It’s not amazon. It’s some kind of scam virus and I’d like to denut the bastards that did it.

It's called "deep linking" and it is propagated via the advertising mechanism use on this and other web boards.

The problem happens when a legitimate ad link that appears on a board or website is linked to another and another and another and so on, until it finally links to the bad guy who wants you to think you're the lucky Amazon winner.

Here's the complaint thread.

It is up to Internet Brands to police the advertisers and their linking practices.

1Blocker. Free app. It seems to have fixed it for me so far.

Using free ad blockers will resolve the problem.

See the Amazon thread in the help forum.

You noticed an increase in the amazon pop up while on my iPhone again.

Not all the time like before, but still annoying.
