On some websites (big ones like news websites) I keep getting a redirect to a deceptive site that has text like:

"Congratulations ISP User,

you have been selected by Google to be amongst the first few persons to....."

I have looked online, for advice and followed suggestions to force shut apps, go into settings->safari clear history and website data, and even blocking popups Then I've done the same on my Mac, but I still get the same popups. The sites I get this on are independent.co.uk and theguardian.co.uk and it's frustrating as it's making the sites completely unusable.

Is there something else that I'm missing?
