Apple.com lucky winner?

That did the trick...thanks deggie!

You're welcome.

A window on my safari opened telling mw that I'm 1 of 20 people selected to test the iPhone 7 before it comes out, here's what the site says...

CONGRATULATIONS! You've been randomly selected to test the brand new iPhone 7 (arriving 2016)!

This is not a joke! You're invited to test our brand new iPhone 7 before it's released to the public. We're looking for (20) additional Apple users for feedback so we can make this the best iPhone ever.

If you'd like to join our private test group, simply answer the 4 questions below. As a "thank you" we'll even send you an 16 GB iPhone 6, free of charge! Act fast, since spots are limited.

IS IT REAL!!???

No. As explained several times in this thread.

Thanks so much!

I was on a legitimate site and there was a band of icons on the bottom with one for messages indicating I had a message, unfortunately I clicked on that and up pops a permanent page for Apple.com-Lucky Winners.... and how does one get rid of it, I refuse to click on OK! I have found NO way to delete it or refresh or reinstall Safari to get rid of it. Aaaarrrggghh!!!

I figured out that one can turn off cellular data and then the pop up goes away and the site can be deleted. Still don't know why clear history was grayed out.

Thank you

Quite a few legitimate sites serve ads containing malware. The don't manage the ads themselves, they contract that out to ad consolidators, some of whom are not too picky about who pays for their services. That's why I have ads blocked on Forbes, as they have been caught serving bad stuff several times. But so has the NY Times, Wall Street Journal, and other "respectable" sites. The same sites that argue that ad blockers are evil.
