Every time I use garage talk for Android. I get hit by some annoying spam for a game off of the Play Store. And when I use the Clublexus mobile site I get sent to some other Web site to advertise how I won something as well. Only happens on first few clicks on either the site or the app.

Is it still happening after the recent change? If so, can you please post details / pictures?

Please try clearing your mobile browser's cache. If you still see the ads after doing so, please let me know.

Thanks!

I clear it out all the time and it still does it.
Not getting an ad blocker since this is pretty much the only website I regularly visit with this problem.
Thanks.

Thanks for the update! We've been working in the background to squash as many of these ads as we can, so I'm glad to hear it's working. If you run into any redirects in the future, please let me know.

Ok. Got a new one...my phone is automatically downloading a few pdfs of Chicken and Rice lasagna and Southwest rice...pretty concerning since the could contain something else. Doesn't matter which page I'm on.

Just to confirm, you don't have any other tabs open in your browser when these downloads occur, correct? Also, are you able to see the direct download URLs for any of these PDFs anywhere? If so, please pass them along.

Thanks!

Thanks, guys. Our ad team is looking into it and should hopefully put an end to the automatic downloads soon.
