Weird ipad message

I was just browsing DS (not signed in) and a weird message popped up on the screen saying a girl wanted to chat to me. It didn't look like an ad, it looked like the message was from Apple as it was in a blue box. It said ok or cancel and I pressed cancel. I have no contacts on the Ipad so I have o idea what it was. Is it a virus? I am still on it now and it seems to be working alright. Does anyone know what it could be.

If someone else can tell us how not to get these messages, I would be grateful.
I was only on ds though and also had another tab opened for tesco.
Just got my first today but I've only had it a month.
Hmm... might be worth contacting the mods and alerting them.... could be that one of the adverts they're displaying is well dodgy. You should be safe enough anyway on the iPad.
Thanks for the advice, I'll get in touch with ds and see if they know anything about it.
I seem to remember a few months ago a thread where people trying to get on DS from their iPads were being directed to a porn site or porn ad.
Do you have popups set to be blocked in the Safari settings... (I assume you're using Safari...?)
I'm using chrome but I think I'll switch to safari if it has a pop up blocker. Thanks again.
Do you know if there are any good ad blockers for Safari?
Sorry but the iPad safari doesn't allow addons like adblockers. You're stuck with the adverts on the iPad
That's a shame, the ads on here can get pretty intrusive at times.
Good idea, I'll remember that if it happens again, since using Safari I've not had any more pop up.
