When using Safari on my iPad I'm getting pop-ups that can't be closed and won't let me use Safari. Clicking on OK is the only option. Is this a scam and am I creating a problem by clicking on OK? Not sure if it means anything, but I recently installed IOS 9.0.2.

This is a scam.
Do not interact with such messages.
Double tap the Home button, then swipe upwards on the Safari preview.
Go to Settings - Safari - Clear History.
Restart Safari.
That was the first thing I tried. When I reopened Safari the pop-up was still there. Also, tried holding down the On/Off button and the Home button to reboot - same results - the pop-up was still there when I reopened Safari. I finally just clicked on OK. Everything seems to be working, but for future reference, I'd sure like to know how to dismiss without clicking on OK.
After re-reading your message, I missed the part about clearing the history. Will try that if it happens again. Thanks
Settings - Safari - Clear History and Website Data
How do I get rid of a pop-up with the only option being 'click on OK'?
