I wanted to order a pizza tonight, but I read somewhere that the place I started ordering from is a proud sponsor of Autism Speaks. Before placing the order, I tried to go on the AS website to check but I kept getting distracted by the stream of donation alerts that popped up at the bottom of the page.

It took me about five or so minutes longer than it should have to confirm their partnerships because it was so distracting.

    Well, donation/purchase popups are already a very big red flag in itself. Scam sites use them to drive FOMO. I have never heard of Autism Speaks so I don’t know about this particular case.
