Recently, I have been getting a Verizon pop up ad in spanish pop-up every ~20 seconds I am using the site. I have must have seen it pop up over 100 times in the past week or two solely on Steam Gifts as I use the site quite a bit. And every time, I have to manually click 2 or 3 times to close it. I have seen this ad on different browsers and different computers (just on SteamGifts). Is something wrong from my end or is this intentional from SteamGifts? Are other people seeing this ad, too? For one, I don't speak Spanish as I live in America, so I don't know why I am getting an ad in Spanish. Not to mention, it makes it quite difficult to use the site as I am spending a good amount of time forced to interact with it over and over.

Have you run a virus check from an usb boot, that you created at another (clean) system?

Definitely not a virus, it's from the site. I can block it with programs but really we shouldn't have to.

Getting greedy with all the forced ads! It's becoming like a news site with all the ad pop ups and advertisement placement.

It's ironic though since we are not allowed to mention those gray sites.. but every other ad is an advertisement for those sites. Lol

I get the same ad as well... It's quite annoying. I am not Spanish. Especially when I am on my phone because you have to click on X to close the ad. I think it's intentional as it only happens on this site.

Ok. So, it isn't just me. That's good to know.

The ads do cycle thru. I've seen an English version a couple a couple weeks ago. But lately it's the Spanish Verizon.

Same issue here. It completely prevents me from using the website as the entire screen on my phone turns into the button to click the ad. I often can’t even close it and have to close the entire tab instead.

Same... Refresh about 2-5 times before it goes away.

There’s also a Walmart ad doing the same thing.
