Pop-up ad

This is new for me on mobile, but I get a full screen pop-up add every time I try to open up a thread. Not only is it super annoying (some app to learn Spanish through a chicken cartoon character) but the "X" to close the ad doesn't have any function other than as an extension of the link to bring you to the App Store. Not sure whether or not this is something you can fix but it's super annoying

I have the same sorteer of thing on my Phone (Android) where i get an popup from WhatsApp which i cant close and leads me to an different website and my Phone starts to vibrate (which is nice for your Mother... Ooooooh) but seriously ive read something that's it is a virus on the website not my Phone, so maybe its worth checking it..

It doesnt always occure so ill just get some images from internet from it.
Since i am Dutch It is written in (really poorly written) Dutch.

So first this popup will ocure (the background is normally newschoolers)


After that message you will be redirected (doesnt matter if you press ok, home, back or anything) to this page and my phone starts vibrating nonstop till i press home and shut down my browser.


Mind that the website always differs from whatapap.com to luckywinner.com, etc
The next time it happens on my phone i will try to make some screengrabs
