This is not steamgifts.com issue, it's your phone browser or some malvare on your phone.
I have older Opera-mini, works fine.

It's not just me, read the comment above you. It only happened on Steamgifts and even when I didn't click anything it randomly redirected me.

Well, as I wrote - Opera-mini on Android 2.3.5 works normal.

I had that on my phone! If you see some red ad that says something about Kindleware or something, close the ad. I think the ad was causing some pop-up. I haven't seen it happen again.

I hate people like you... You really contribute a lot to the society.

in case it's not one of the suggested viruses or ad-spawning sites in other tabs: sometimes I accidentally click on ads, maybe your touch screen is acting up if you're certain you haven't tapped any yourself

I just opened a bunch of pages on my old iphone 4s in both safari and chrome and I didn't have any problems.

Works fine for me. I'm running Firefox on my phone though. Could be an issue with your phone. Does it happen with other websites?

They might be trying to skim Steam logins.
Valve recently banned a ton of cheaters so you can be sure they're looking to steal new accounts.

But that is still a security breach on the Steamgifts site then.

Automated ad systems that allow Flash ads are a very common vector for malware.
In this case they probably target sites that use the SteamID of which steamgifts is only one.
Do you get the same attempted scam when you connect to scrap.tf or barter.vg or other SteamID sites?
They would probably be trying to do a Man In The Middle attack where they would try to trick you into logging into 'Steam' which is really their fake site capturing your login ID & password.
You might email Steam support about it too and/or post in the forums there especially since more than one person says they got the same message.

Been on other Steam related sites, no issues there. Also, so far today no issues on Steamgifts either.

It works normal on my iOS phone but the battery on my Android is dead so I can't check it.
Most Android phones are sitting ducks since well documented exploits last for years because phone companies want to force people to buy new ones so they refuse to let you update.

I don't know why people don't use it
Since I installed Adblock I never got any malware etc. :)

Ads are from the website. Nothing to do with the platform. But if the platform allows a couple of features that can extend the use of ads everywhere, that's messed up.

Ok, let me reword that: Aggressive ads can hit iOS and mac OS X too

It happens to me from time to time on basically any site, it's not only SG. Seems like nobody has idea what is happening though.

Probably went to some dodgy website or watched some NSFW stuff.

As per title, randomly throws me to other ad and scareware sites on my smartphone. Anyone else experiencing this?
