Vodafone Scam pop up

[Briopad]

This popped up on my web page when I was browsing. Looking at the ISP address this would appear to be a scam. 

Anyone else had it!

I'm getting one too, but only appears to be linked to when i do a search on the Discogs website, i've attached a screenshot of the webpage, Hopefully Vodafone are looking into this as it's very annoying.

Hi,

I have received this pop up as well, on two occasions now. I would like to point out that it appeared on the second day of using my brand new device. I didn't browsed any of potentially dangerous and malicious websites. I just was using Chrome and Google news.

It's quite scary and frustrating. It looks like that everyone is at risk.

Thanks

I understand this can be a little disconcerting @KarolM. Do you have Vodafone Securenet active on your account? If not, you can activate this for £1 per month through your online account or the MyVodafone app, which may help reduce the instances of these pop-ups appearing. I'd also recommend looking into anti-virus or pop-up blocking extensions for your browser to keep your device secure.

I've seen it said that vodafone are creating these spam pop ups and pretending it's some other source. Why? To get people to pay vodafone via vodafone securenet basically to rip their customers off . What do you think about that? Is it possible?
