Its a scare tactic and is not real. Close Safari either by quitting or Force Quitting, then reopen Safari while holding Shift to clear that active window. Don't call the number listed as its is fake and will scare you into paying them.

A scam. Choose Force Quit from the Apple menu, close Safari, and then launch it with the Shift key held down. If the message reappears, disconnect the computer from the Internet and erase that site from the browser history.
