Does anyone else regularly get a huge Amazon ad that takes over the screen and won’t let you move on without hitting the backspace a few times? It says “Congratulations Amazon user! You’ve been selected a chance to get the $1000 Amazon gift card, Apple iPhone X 256G or the Samsung Galaxy S8. Please click OK to claim your reward before it expires!”I can’t find any way to report the ad, and it pops up some days 50 times.
I’ve been getting the same ad as an email. No matter how many times I block the sender (from address is not amazon), I get that email again a few days later. It started at $25 gift card and the last one was $1250.
If you get one of those ads, saying that you are an Amazon winner, look at its web site. Write that web site down, then doe Alt/F4 to close the ad. Then log into your router and go to firewall, (maybe called something different with your router), and add the web site, choosing the option to block 24/7. then restart your computer. You will never see that ad or any ad from them again.

If they follow their own pheromone trails, won’t they just go in circles?
