Scratch cards?

Saturday, April 26, 2003 by Flibbertygibbets | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk

Is the "Would you like to download free scratchcards?" pop-up window something new from Wincustomize.com? Or is it something gone silly on my own system?

I have tracked it down. Unfortunately, it is generated from one of the ads in rotation. It's an ad for a site called www.huntfly.com If you go to the Huntfly site, you will be served by the same ad. The sneaky little bugger waits until you refresh the banner before it pops up, so it looks like it is being served by several different sources.

Anyway, I have already put in a call to get it removed. (But, of course, it will be awhile before they actually *do* anything about it). I will keep after them until it is gone.

Again, I *truly* apologize for this! It was *never* out intention to have that on here.

In the mean time, feel free to contact the huntfly people concerning their business practices

Good of you to take care of it and. . no need to apologize either. It's not your fault that people do annoying things right? Thank's again.

I have been notified by our ad provider that they have been removed from rotation. Please let me know if you see anything like this again.

Hey Karmagirl the popups HAVE NOT stopped. I just got the usual free scratch cards pop up about 2 minutes ago and it's been going on all day for me.

This is the only site it happens at. I have deleted and killed all cookies, history, and temp files but it still pops up. It even pops up on my Mac.

I've been having the same Free Scratch Card Problem for about a week now. It is definitely coming through Wincustomize because I have not visited any other site in several days. Please get rid of it

When you see it, note what banner ad is showing. I'll see if I can find it. I have not been able to replicate it since I had that last banner ad removed.
