I got something like that on my mobile phone yesterday, only it didn't
cover 80% of the screen but over 400% of it (over four full screens),
and unlike your example, it was not possible to scroll past it (it's a
"pop-over" that has to be dismissed by scrolling back to the top and
hitting the difficult-to-hit "x").

I also note that the german "banners" claim 20€ average donations while
the screenshot above claims 10 GBP (which is currently around 12.50€).
Never minding that only a small part of the donations is used as claimed
in these "banners" (keeping Wikipedia "online and ad-free" for a year).

Is the Foundation also still running "banners" that spoof web browser
security messages?
