Hilariously bad “Deborah Meaden” “adverts”/scam

[georgeyboy12345]

I mean, what the hell is this all about? I’d have a word with whoever is doing your ads and get them to pull this. Has scam written all over it

[DodgyGeezer]

Absolutely

Doesn’t everyone use ad blockers these days?

Thank you for reporting. Just to confirm, this is a display advert that you saw in the forums?

I know I've seen - sadly I can't swear it was here (given I spend more www time on pistonheads than anywhere else it's a fair bet though)

Yes, 100% here on the forums.

Thanks for confirming – I'll report to our advertising team to see if they can track it down and block it.

Good idea. I think if she was aware she’d go absolutely batst.

Thanks for sharing Master Bean – are you able to copy the URL and paste here if you see this again please so we can get it blocked?

These adverts are dire, I've included the hyperlink above. I'd expect this level of advert on dodgy Russian warez sites or sketchy porno pages.

[Ben Lowden]

Thank you for reporting and sharing the link, I'll get this blocked by our ads team.

Thanks. Our advertising team are in the US so there'll be a bit of a time delay in getting it removed, but hopefully it'll be blocked soon.
