Hi guys, I've had recurring issues with my Chrome for Android browser being taken over while in the Rant with a pop-up that declares I've won something or other. The pop-up won't close and my phone starts vibrating with a count down for me to respond to claim my prize. I have to close Chrome and re-open to get rid of it. I have anti-virus on my phone, and it never happens on any other site. Are any of you having this issue?

WHEW
I am glad I am not the only one.
I have also had the popups claiming I was hacked/ransomware etc.
I just have to close it all out and reload. Definitely something on TD side.
ETA: just found this LINK
