Kindle Fire 3rd generation can't get rid of this con pop up saying
we need more beta-testers for the new iPhone 8. Press ok to participae and you will receive a free iPhone 8. It is an obvious scam my guess to find out if my email address is live so you get more rubbish mails. The pop up doesn't have an exit x so you have to click ok then answer 4 questions. the last one is do you have a delivery address. then you click to claim your gift/prize and an page error shows there is no way I can clear the pop up each time its starts all over again.
Don't say I should not have participated I had to, hoping I could click on an x to clear but didn't find one . Why can't these be stopped to me its blatant miss use locking us in to their page and no doubt they are paid for each click made. Can't this sort of thing be reported? Pensioner who can't now access emails while this message shows.

I kept getting this on my newly purchased I phone!! I used the back button on the first page, which got rid of it, it did bring it up every couple of days for about a week, then suddenly stopped.
Hope it stops spamming you soon.I worked as a case clerk for the IS for a number of years. Any views expressed are my own. If your query is urgent, please contact the OR or LTADT dealing with your case directly.

Is this when using a browser? If so try another browser.
You may have to figure out which app is producing the popup and delete it.
Close all apps running in the background.
Failing that, reset the tablet to factory settings and start over.Drinking Rum before 10am makes you
