On Ebay, browsing... And an advert has just popped up there... ’’Congratulations, you have been selected... blah blah blah’’... Honestly, do people still think they've been magically selected by these adverts?

Yup, unfortunately. My Mum's been taught well, though. and knows how to close the browser whenever a "click to play XYZ free game [OK]" pops up.

Use an Adblocker... stops most of these popping up.

Yep, Adblock is pretty good. Doesn't stop everything, but it does stamp out an awful lot of this shit.
