Yea. Quite a few people are. Not sure why. I have a work PC that is very locked down and it happens there and on my phone too.
Been getting some kind of “spin the wheel,” Amazon gift card, virus program, and Atlantic Broadband redirect. All fake. They know I have an iPhone. I believe these cites are malicious. I have to shut down and reboot the phone to get rid of them. But they return. Not happening on other websites
Today it’s a Walmart gift card cite. This needs to be fixed and it is something on GC. Too much risk if we hit the wrong button and our phones are infected. All I do is shut down the redirect. Sometimes it doesn’t let me and I have to reboot my phone.
SERIOUSLY. ARE JUST A FEW OF US GETTING THIS ISSUE ON MULTIPLE DEVICES???? Makes no sense. It’s debilitating.
Happened to me today after letting my computer with GC open … got redirected to bogus site claiming to be Spectrum Cable and saying I won a prize….

I haven’t had it happen to me. I have an IPhone. It’s been recommended that people with iPhones turn off their phone every 2 days and back on. I’ve read it makes it more difficult for someone to hack into it. Maybe it will help with this issue also? I think it’s worth a try.
Happens to me on my desktop pretty much nonstop. I have Norton 360 and it continually kicks me off GC saying site is trying to direct you to unsafe page. I've had Norton 360 for as long as I've been coming to this site and it never used to happen. Norton never redirects on any other site I visit. Just GC
Thanks Okla. It’s annoying to me and city, but the real loss is the greater society being denied our brilliant thoughts. I have one particularly revolutionary idea that keeps getting cut off by the redirects. It should not only improve the economy, but solve racism, global warming, and world hunger. And it’s incredibly doable. Ok, so the first step is that we all just
