Tried to open my LCHF bookmarked page, and instead got a message on my screen telling me that "Ooops, we can't show you that page, you've almost reached storage capacity!"And then came the killer give-away....
"To know more about (highlighted link) Storage capacity let us know what you think!"
Or words to that effect.
Fortunately, we have my step-son staying with us for a few days. He's a complete techno whizz-kid. Showed him the page.
"Don't open it", he said, it's a scam. They want you to click the link and it will do one of two things (or probably both): Try to sell you something, and/or infect your hard-drive. It's a scam."
If you get a mostly white screen with what looks like several hard drives one on top of the other, ans an apology for not being able to follow your request 'right now'... close it doen, wait a few moments then try again.

You should also report the ad to the mods here on MFP - they will track it down (eventually) and kill it.2
