I'm afraid I don't know. I suspect an advert was accepted into rotation by the ad provider that shouldn't have been. That's only a guess though.

Just happened to me again. Here is a better report:
Let us know what anti-malware/adware/virus software you have on your PC and ensure you've run a scan that returns clean before reporting the ad to us:
Avast, Malwarebytes.
The date and time you saw this ad:
2020-06-07 at 12:41.
The URL of the page you were on at the time: https://www.nexusmod...mspecialedition
Your general location:
Stockholm area, Sweden.
A good description of what is happening that makes you think this is a bad ad:
After a few seconds I get redirected to a fake/scam site. Apparently, I have won some kind of prize (never heard that one before...).
If you get redirected or sent to another site, provide the URL that you are sent to:

Same here. Being redirected to: https://eu.generatio...5b7f/index.html
Makes the website unusable.

I'm afraid we need more information to provide any kind of assistance or pass this on to our ad provider: https://help.nexusmo...appropriate-ads

Received this today (16/8/2020). Time: Around 5pm GMT+8. Ran 2 scans with Bitdefender and my PC is clean, I've had my antivirus on ever since I bought the PC. General location: Singapore.
URL of site: https://www.nexusmod...valley/mods/935
and a few others, but they are all from the stardew valley mod pages.
The url: https://globalgdp.xy...200816054406397
Ad redirected me from the mod site 5 seconds after I visit it. It is impossible to browse the site with this ad active. I prefer not to show a screenshot as it shows my IP but I can PM it to you if needed.

Seems to line up with this report: https://forums.nexusmods.com/index.php?/topic/9020483-what-is-with-all-the-malicious-spam-ads/
I'll feed it back. Thanks.
