No, it's a scam page. DO NOT call the number or contact these thieves in any way.
Force quit Safari. Hold the Shift key down and relaunch it.
OK. I went through settings and cleared all my history. And was able to re open safari. So there is no malware I need to remove ?
Correct. It's nothing more than a JavaScript trick to make it appear you are stuck to that web page. It can happen in any browser. Nothing was download to, or installed on your computer.
Thank you Kurt! I'm assuming that's the same story with an iPad ?
Yup, same thing. For an iPad or iPhone, go to the Settings, choose Safari and then clear history and website data.
Please read Phony "tech support" / "ransomware" popups and web pages for a description of, and the solution to, this common scam.
