Safari is infected and locked

I clicked on a wrong link and my Safari is infected and locked. A dialog box shows a tel number for me to call. I dare not call. I quit Safari and shut down. Once I open Safari, same dialog box shows up again.

What do I do?

iMac, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.2)

Choose Force Quit from the Apple menu, close Safari, and then launch it with the Shift key held down. If that doesn't work, temporarily disconnect the computer from the Internet.

If that message continues to appear, click here and run Adware Medic. You may need to download it from a different web browser.
