Phishing/Scam Ads in Apps

How do you report an App for allowing phishing/pop up scams. There should be a button to report apps built into Apples App Store to keep the community safe.

its because of an App called Newsbreak that I’ve been trying out and they allow these phishing pop up apps and unsafe links to third party websites and have manipulated the rating system to get 4.7 stars.

Fake Tech support popup on Mac I keep getting fake Virus alerts on my Mac. Luckily I know they are fake, because they want money. I think its from an app I installed a while ago. I uninstalled the app, but the popups are still coming. Is there a cache I need to clear or something?

Banners or Alerts in notifications centre Linked to web threat ! How to get rid of it ? Hello Apple Community, First af all, I am french and I didn't wrote in english since a longtime so I hope I will be clear and will do my best to be as clear as possible. My issue is the following : A new banner popped up in my screen since today. It is not a fake banner from internet but the one you can choose to allow are not from the notifications centre. This banner alert myself about many different fake subjects : a virus attack and invited me to re-install the virus protection ( that i don't have, of course) Some message as "is that you that downloading that files ? (clic to show)" etc... And if I click on it, it's linked to a website call "ismilinstite.com" which is directly recognize as a threat by avast ( because I just installed avast today due to this issue and to see what Avast will do ) And also, I can switch off the banners as it is a normal one !! I don't know where it came from, what is the application related to that ( because it is inside the notification centre ) So, is there somebody who know what it is and how I can get rid of it !! I hope i am understandable ;) All the best Jim
