But *Mods* can you advise one of the IB boys and girls please, asking them to find out who is doing this scam?
My guess is that the ads are hosted on external sites which in turn may link on elsewhere. I doubt very much that there will be any interest in following up.
I view an ad blocker as an essential security tool. e.g. A big US newspaper that I read on-line has about 70 blocked ads on the page. Each of them may in turn link on elsewhere. My view is that I am reducing my risk of bumping into some malicious code on that site by a factor of over 70 by using an ad blocker.
Of course the ad blocker itself is a risk .........
