(What) Mine Eyes Have Seen ............

Just a FYI Heads Up.

Today, Friday the thirteenth, 2014, while reading the posts in the thread titled New York Times: Truckers Resist Rules on Sleep, Despite Risks of Drowsy Driving I was surprised to see a drop-down pop-up advertisement, and it re-appeared every time I went to the next page of that thread. The ad is for CAR ACCIDENT ATTORNEYS.

The ad reads: "I need a car accident attorney".
(Describe what you need)

It asks for:
Full name
Your e-mail
Location Zip code
Your phone number.

and

Get legal advice.
(By submitting this form, I authorize service providers to contact me back regarding my request.)

Ending with: Brought to you by Pastaleads.

Also, there's a picture of a dude in a black judge's robe holding a red book.

Is this a legitimate advertiser or a hack?

It's annoying.
A guarantee that I'll avoid contacting them.

ThanX folks, --- for all that y'all do to keep TTR the outstanding site that it is.
Much appreciated. :smt045

 

Wellll, ....... color my face bright red.
Dad-burned calendar flipped back to June.
Make that the eleventh of July. Friday and the year are still correct though.

I'm pretty sure I was signed in. But I've been incorrect before.
Would the age of a thread make any difference?

 

ThanX
You could be right.
I got the A-JaX and a stiff brush floatin' in a pail o' hot, sudsy water.
I'm fixin' to scrub 'er down real good.
I'm ready.
Wish me luck, ----- I'm goin' in.

 

Mine eyes have seen the same drop-down pop-up ad`again, this time in the thread
Woman escapes serious injury after crashing under 18 wheeler.
There seems to be a pattern to the ads as they only appear in crash report threads.

 

I thought it was odd to see an ad here.
It's never happened to me before, and has only happened twice, --- same topic.

I'm gonna run with the suggestion BHW provided.
See what happens.

ThanX for the replies y'all.
Much appreciated.
