Hi Pizwizx1,
Force Quit Safari by pressing Command + Option + Esc keys and select safari and press Force Quit.
Then restart Safari holding the Shift key.
Then Empty the Caches
Safari menu > Preferences > Privacy > Remove all website data. (This will also remove all history)
If you dont want to remove the History
Safari Preferences > Advanced
Check mark the Show Develop Menu then choose Empty Caches from Develop Menu .
Go to the Safari menu > Preferences... > Extensions. If you see any Extensions that you do not recognise or understand, simply click the Uninstall button and they will be gone.
Go to the Safari menu > Preferences... > Security, and ensure that Safari blocks both fraudulent websites and popups.
Then download and run Malwarebytes Anti Malware For Mac using the link provided

If the problem persists contact Apple Support

Hope that helps, have a nice day.

If the pop-up reloads, force quit Safari (command - option/alt - esc) and reopen with the shift key held down. If that doesn't work, disconnect from the Internet, go to Safari/History and delete the website. Quit and reopen with the shift key held down. Then reconnect to the Internet.
Safari -Tech support scam pop-ups
Just to be clear: that message is a scam. Follow the advice already given to get rid of the fraudulent “support” alert.
