Help!! Scammer web pop up on mobile!!!

Hey all. Had to open the browser site to post this. I got a pop up from a scam website that redirected me to a fake Google site. I didn't click on anything, it just took me to their scam site in the middle of watching my last game. Now, whenever I load the mfn site on my phone, it redirects to that scam site in 2 seconds. I can no longer do anything on this site via mobile. Anyone ever had this happen? Is this site vulnerable to scams and redirect hacks? Should I just clear my cache and try again? I wish I could say I've been on some unsavoury websites or the dark web or something, but I literally got this new phone last week and haven't even looked at nsfw Reddit posts since. Why is the mobile site unable to stop the scam pop up?

What browser are you using and do you have any type of anti-malware app installed?

I am by no means a tech expert, but I would suggest clearing your cache and resetting your phone to factory (don't forget to backup of course).

It's a redirect caused by the ad widget itself. I've seen it pop up but always managed to back out of it so I didn't get hit with the redirect. Sucks that you're getting redirected each time.
