Close the offending page and avoid sites that are involved in such bogus advertising tactics.

Do not interact with the message or the sender.

Never, never, never download anything based on a popup message.

Recognize and avoid phishing messages, phony support calls, and other scams - Apple Support

Phony "tech support" / "ransomware" popup… - Apple Community
