I'm not entirely sure that this is the problem but if you have signed up for Google+ or any Google apps that might be the issue.
Google seems to think they own the internet and have ad scams running all the over the place to enhance their income.

I live in Costa Rica and have one ad at the top of this page for a local bank, Banco Popular.
On the upper right corner is a right pointing arrow and if you mouse over it the phrase "AdChoices" appears.
If you click on it you get a new tab by Google's "AdSense Help". On that page you will find a link to "Ads Settings".
On the Ads Settings page, at the bottom, you will find an "Opt Out" option that allows you to opt out of their ads based on what they know about you.

This is probably true of any other web site whose income is ad based.
