I know that we have all been exposed to ads on the internet but what just happened to me caught me off guard. However I was reading a web page on my Mac. I had loaded the page and had been reading it for about 4 or 5 min. All of the sudden, without me clicking or moving my mouse. A whole new webpage tab popped up full screen and wanted to ask me questions about Mediacom because my IP address showed me as being a Mediacom customer. If I answered the questions I could get a free gift valued at more than 50 dollars. The questions were stupid and the gift well i had to pay for some shipping if I wanted them. It just took me by surprise because usually they are ads that popup because a page or something i clicked on. Has anyone else seen something like this. I attached a couple of screen shots
