RTG Getting pop-ups, Audio, redirects, ads overlaying text, malware reports from ads please read this

I keep getting redirected to the app store on my phone, about once every five pages. Mostly William Hill but there have been a few others, annoying as fuck and renders this place practically unusable.
 


All who have suffered this pop ups and attempted downloads, either in chrome, safari or redirected to app store. My EE bill has shot up by £12.75. Been on the phone and they have traced it back to buying apps/downloading content. I have dont nothing different and the only think I can think of is this issue. It might not be but I am stumped, I have used my phone for nothing different. Worth checking lads.
 
I have been getting numerous reports of adverts not behaving correctly recently. You shouldn't get any of the above, but we use various ad networks and agencies and unfortunately they are not always as diligent checking things as they should be.

The problem I have is tracking down which network the adverts come from, so that ads from that network can be stopped and the adverts in question reported.

To help track things down, I have created several test pages containing ads from the various networks we use. If you are experiencing any of the above, it would be useful if you could visit these test pages and let me know if you see the problem on any of them. (As each of the primary networks/agencies we use each farm their inventory out to other networks it is possible you may see the issue on more than one of them)

The test pages are at:
Network 1
Network 2
Network 3
Network 4

Please report your results below in the following form:
  1. The Network(s) you see the problem on (if any)
  2. The advert which is causing the problem (if you can identify this)
  3. The type of device you are using (desktop PC, Tablet, Mobile) and if tablet/mobile the orientation of it (portrait/landscape)
  4. The browser and operating system you are using.
  5. If you are using a mobile, which network are you using (EE, O2, 3, Vodaphone etc)

Issue just happened for me for the first time whilst viewing this thread. The advert was for the iOS app Cookie Jam and it redirected me to the App Store.

1. None of those networks had an issue for me.

2. The advert was for Cookie Jam app, don't know who served it.

3. iPhone 5 in portrait

4. Safari on iOS 8.1.3

5. 3 network.
 
Just happened again, redirected to App Store for Gummy Bear Drop app. Managed to see the address of the add at bottom of page as tracking.miniontrack.com

A day later again and it's still happening, same as yesterday, minion track.com responsible.
