Q: Is mac-securities.com  phone 1-844-743-5**6 a legitimate apple technical support number?

On my IMAC using Safari I got a message that says "Reported PHishing Website Ahead".   It lists a number to call to resolve the issue, and my computer is frozen from any other Safari activity.  It says w*w.mac-securities.***     phone 1-844-743-5**6.   Is this a legitimate Apple Imac technical support number?

    That's a nice way to do it. The other with any iPad or iPhone is to close Safari (double tab the Home button and drag it up and off the screen). Then go into Settings > Safari, and clear all website data. When you relaunch Safari, it will open up to a blank page, or will default to Apple's site. Can't remember which.

     

    The nice thing about your method is that you don't clear out all of your cookies. Which then means you have to re-enter what were previously remembered user names and passwords for sites you commonly visit.

    For iOS, I had to go to Settings > Safari > Advanced and turn off JavaScript. That allowed me to open Safari and only close the problem page.
