Pop-up Ads on this site are a scam

Postby mustangklick » Tue Dec 08, 2009 9:46 am

Can we get a new advertiser?

DON'T CLICK THIS LINK <http://www.davidsworkathomeblog.com/index.php?src=sports_113304> keeps popping up when I go to this site, and I am pretty sure this is a scam. Google definetly does not offer this type of service.

I would hate to think that our friendly Ponyfans site is associated with ripping people off.

As reference, please see this CNET article on similar (if not the very same) ads:

I've been getting this same pop-up forever now. It really sucks (all the ads)

Yeah, I logged in at work one day and one of those ads had an audio clip. They had just given me a new laptop and the IT guy had the volume on max. Hilarity ensued.

I think making all this money would cut into my PF time, so I'm going to have to pass.
