Those are Safari Notifications. Stop them by following these instructions.


  • Go to Safari's Settings (or Preferences) menu > Websites > Notifications, and remove everything there.


For reference: Change Websites settings in Safari on Mac - Apple Support


Don't allow websites to send you Notifications unless you are 100% certain that you want that kind of harassment. Refer to Customize website notifications in Safari on Mac - Apple Support. Deselecting "Allow websites to ask for permission to send notifications" will prevent those websites from even asking your permission to be harassed by them.

It's a scam, but please describe what you are encountering, as though we cannot see what is on your Mac's screen.


Posting a screenshot will help others identify what it is. To learn how to capture, edit (if necessary), and post a screenshot to this site, read the Appendix in Writing an effective Apple Support Communities Question - Apple Community. Refer to Screenshots (Mac).
