Hi Sinbad2019,
Thanks for reaching out in Apple Support Communities. I understand that when you start up your Mac you're seeing the image you included above along with a message regarding money. I can see why you'd reach out about this behavior; I'd like to help. This looks like it's probably a phishing attempt triggered through Safari or potentially unwanted software that was installed on your Mac. I'd recommend reviewing the information in this resource first: How to block pop-ups in Safari
If you continue to see the behavior when starting your Mac, you can use this software to scan for adware or other potential causes: Malwarebytes
Best Regards.
