Why am i getting a pop up to ask if i want to opt out of mobile recommendations

A

AC Question

Hey I keep getting a white box appear on my phone that gives me 2 options either a x to close the pop up or an opt out button. I accidentally clicked on the opt out button and it opens up a page from monetize your android that says opt out of mobile recommendations asking me to download app or opt out manually. I have untrusted sources blocked and only every download from the play store. If you want to opt out manually they want you to give your imei meid and ESN. I don't know what it is, if its safe to do any of these things or how to get rid of the annying pop up. I'm using a Samsung galaxy s4. I've scanned with lookout and its finding nothing. Please help. Thanks in advance.

Hi, don't give them any details - even if it isn't a scam you would never be asked to provide any info like that. Try removing some of the 3rd party apps you have recently installed and see if the pop up disappears.
