Scam website

I was typing out a website but mistyped one part of it and when I searched it up it redirected me to an apple page that was saying I had Trojan Spyware. The page seemed real at first but the more I looked the less realistic it became. It had fake windows, it was unsecure, and it had a Safari notice icon despite me using Chrome. It also had a phone number that was supposedly Apple Support but it was fake too. I showed the link to my friend and when she clicked on it the page showed the same thing as mine despite her using a HP. Im not sure what to do about this page or who I should contact.

MacBook, OS X 10.11
