Over the past few days on mobile I've been experiencing those popup "You won a prize!" messages where you have to close your tab tp resolve the issue. It's something I haven't experienced before and I didn't see any other threads about it so I thought I'd let you guys know...

You run a malware checker?
 
JoeCamel - for my phone I use Lookout security and it's not showing me anything at the moment. Not sure if it's the best program though, not really familiar with mobile antivirus software.

Joe - I've experienced it both at home and out and about, so it could be somewhat from public wifi but I've specifically noticed it around my house.
 
I wonder if it's connected to the problem I used to have on mobile where the ad would insert itself into the reply box, and I'd have to type blind.

I think Malware Bytes is about as good as you can get. It is free so don't pay
 
Which is odd because it only happened on my iPhone and my iPad was fine, so that’s why I thought it was device specific.
Edit: thanks for looking into the issue though!
 
This is being sent from my phone because iPad is a total bust on this website. Here is what I get on iPad.
