Q: Pop up from uk police on safari.

HI I was searching for a Instagram model on safari. I clicked a webpage and a uk police pop up appeared and wouldn't let me close it. I wanted to know if this is malware and what I should do? It had my location details on it although incorrect.

iPhone 6, iOS 9.2

    It’s a scam, but not malware. Click here and follow the instructions in the first paragraph of the last section.

    Thanks Neil, I noticed macafee have had issues with the site I clicked on. I've never actually heard of it myself. It's a bit worrying reviving those pop ups. I've noticed while on facebook looking at the lad bobble I've had pops asking me to install apps etc to. Would this be related?
