Has anyone had their computer blocked by Apple Platform Security because my iPad was infected by trojan Spyware. It says contact a engineer at 888*** they can walk me through the removal process and don't get on any other device until this is fixed. This will prevent identity theft and will unlock access to my iPad. I don't believe it.

I didn’t believe it either but the **** thing locked up my laptop! I couldn’t get rid of it, had to shut down, lost some unsaved work. (My auto backup is every 30 minutes.) Was there a way I could’ve gotten rid of it?
I almost failed for it. Or should I say I did. I called the number and they walked me through the steps, but I realized it was a scammed and hung up. Luckily they didn’t ask for my cc or anything like that. I did delete that app they recommend. Please don’t fall for this
I got out of it by noticing tiny font words at the top left of my browser (my Chrome browser had been maximized, I could tell, because my other monitors were black), that said to exit full screen mode, press the [esc] key. Then close the page.
just got this pop up, with a computerized voice telling me not to shut down.
didn't do it, closed out,
it is spam... right?
but how did they find me??

I have received an Apple Security Notification saying access to my MacBook Air has been blocked. I believe this to be a scam but I can’t remove the notification from my screen. Please help!
Sorry but how do I get rid of it?
I got a Apple Platform Security alert saying my PC has been blocked for security reasons
