You recognize it for the scam that it is.
Go to the Apple menu and choose Force Quit. Select Safari and force quit.
Restart Safari while holding down the Shift key which prevents it from reloading the last page that was open.
Don't visit that website anymore.

I would suggest you ask on the iOS forum. But, I was just close Safari in reopen.

Quit Safari by double tapping the Home button and swiping Safari up. Then try Settings/Safari/Clear History and website data.
