VULNERABILITY DETAILS
Please provide a brief explanation of the security issue.

>>Hi guys, 
I want to share with you some of the most annoying and strange thing that never happens to me.
As usually, i was browsing the internet with my huawei Mate 9 and i entered a website. Then suddenly an ad apear i push the "close" button and after that, i was subscribed to a pay service!
Ok, i go to the SMS, and go to the desuscription, and inmediatly call to my carrier to tell the problem and block "Pay with my phone contract" ( may vary in your contry, mine is spain) The agent say me that is a commom new way of procedure in this cases and is being big.

Malicious AD page:iknowwhatyoudownload.com => track.redirect.rocks => go.redirectvoluum.com
Then, my main thing is: HOW can an updated chrome for android without the SMS permissions ( i check it) send it a SMS OR, how can chrome, share my number to a third party page/app without comunicate it to the user.

I think that is an important issue for all who browse the internet with his mobile phone.

pstanton@, zbutler@: Do you mind taking a look? It seems like some of these sites should be on the blacklist.
mjcastner@ - FYI

Feel free to pass it back to me if the volume is low or there's no evidence.

Thanks for reporting the issue. I'm so sorry that this happened to you.

Unfortunately, we do not have a public policy against this currently so I am going to have to mark this as WontFix. We will continue to monitor the complaints for this behavior and act accordingly.
