OT - Scam on this site

[CaptainJ]

Happened to em a couple of times, too, maybe a couple of weeks ago. Not since.

The moral of this thread was that if stuff can happen to the world's most interesting man, it can happen to less interesting folks as well.

I've been getting them constantly. It's really annoying, because it dims the page content almost forcing you to click on it. I back arrow a couple times and then reload the page, and that usually gets around it. It's clearly phishing, not just an ad.

But have you gotten them today?

I'll let you know. I had them as recently as yesterday, on both Mac and Windows.
