Default Lyft/mastercard ad

The last few days I've been getting a Lyft/Mastercard ad that covers the whole screen and can't be closed. You can scroll past it, but it blocks a big section and prevents you from reading whatever is underneath. This on mobile by the way.

We do not have ads like that.
I don't know much about mobile devices. Perhaps others can tell you how to get rid of it.

Android. I don't belive it's any kind of malware. Device is showing clean, and I've not had this issue anywhere else, only here and always the same ad.

Like Lee, I haven't got any answers for you as my limited expertise lies with PC's but I know we have lots of members who use Android phones and hopefully one of them can chime in and help.

It appears on the left under thenra ad, and above the "around the web" ads. Appears to be served/provided by intermarket ads.
