If anyone gets a popup warning of a Deceptive Website and loss of bank details, don't panic. It's a false warning and Proboards are working on getting rid of it.

If you've had it, could you please let me know what browser you are using, are you on a phone/tablet or PC and does it appear on one specific page of this forum or is it random? And could you let me know the exact text used?

If you can send me a screenshot, that would be even more useful. I haven't seen it but need to send these details to Proboards.

And it's only affecting the app rather than the website as far as they know.

That will help Support find it.

If anyone gets this,use the report ad tool,there is nothing admin on here can do,and or just means going back and forth with more info.

The support forum is not just for admins of forums, anyone can use it for help with any issue.
