ios crash report due to a third party application

My son was watching something on his iPhone (5c) iOS 7.1.2 and received this message in Safari "http://supportcallnow<dot>com 'warning!! iOS Crash Report' " Due to a third party application in your phone, iOS crashed. Contact Support for an immediate fix - 1800-***-2251.


Fairly sure this is a virus or at least a scam. Have already tried to reset by holding the power and square down until the apple icon appears, but to no avail. I cannot get the message off of the Safari screen .


Help!

I had the same thing happen to me. I called the 877 number and the guy told me, initially, that it would cost $39. When I asked him if I was going to have to pay for the service, he then told me it would cost $29. Fortunately, my phone died on me. Then I checked out ASC. So glad I did! Thanks for the fix adamfrombessemer. It worked!!!

The same thing happened to me too! He told me I had one hour before everything in my phone started to crash and not work. he wanted 60$ and said that was the only way. so I decided to try to fix it my self. I opened Siri and asked it to search something up on the browser. It opened a new page and allowed me to close the page where it was showing me the third party error.
