Is this popup an official a2k sanctioned popup?

Tonight, this popup keeps appearing.

Is a2k really running a research survey? I wouldn't mind participating in one if I know it's an official a2k sanctioned research survey rather then a third party interloper who may or may not have nefarious motives for trying to lure me (the browser) away from the site.

If this is an official survey... could you guys make it more professional and brand it so it doesn't look so suspicious?

I haven't seen it, but I'm betting that it's not.

@tsarstepan,

No, we don't accept popup adverting at all but sometimes advertisers sneak that into one of the networks that supply us ads and we need to block them if the network doesn't get to them first. If you see it please let us know what ads are on the able2know page when the popup appears (or who the survey is for) by sending us a message at the contact us link in the footer.

@tsarstepan,

Yeah, I've gotten it twice now when logging off A2k. But I don't do surveys. So I just click to close that window and go on about my business.

I haven't received any pop-ups at all while A2king. Interesting.

Now that I've said this, I probably will! Wink

It was something about ADHD medication when I started to take it.

@maporsche,

Maybe it's only in the US? If that's possible.

I got them last night too. A tiny box (probably not more than 1 by 2 inches) saying that I would be asked to participate in a survey of this site once I ended my session with a plea to "Please do not close this box." When I logged out the pop up expanded asking me to participate in a survey with "No Thanks" and another box which I think said "Accept". I said no thanks but then thought I should probably have simply closed the box without responding.

@JPB,

Interesting.

Still no sign of anything here (Oz)

@maporsche,

One popped up right now and it was accompanying (coincidentally or not) a medication for ADHD called Vyvanse.
