hey guys,

I'm experiencing some heavy issues when surfing (only!) the MacRumors forum with my iPhone 6 on PB1.
Every minute I get forwarded to a "google congratulations... you won" scam site. Even deleting the safari cache in settings didn't work. The problem is that the scam site reloads multiple times automatically so that the backwards button doesn't help.

Is it a security problem on MacRumors? I really have this problem only here. Also not on my Macbook only in the iPhone. Maybe its because the adblockers doesn't work anymore. But that is no normal commercial I guess?

Do you have a solution?
PS: I don't have a jailbreak
