Safari is telling us to contact Apple Tech Support immediately when opening safari?

It's a scam. Don't contact anyone in any way.

Quit Safari, then relaunch it while holding down the Shift key.

It's a scam. Force Quit Safari ( command + option + esc keys). Then restart Safari holding the Shift key.

If that doesn't doesn't stop it then download and run MalwareBytes. Malwarebytes was developed by one of our own colleagues here in ASC. It gets rave reviews and is about the most proven anti-malware software for Mac.

Oh, it's an iPad. Forget the key commands.

EDIT: I asked for the post to be moved into iOS or iPad.

Clearly a scam as others said already. However, since this is on an iPad, not a Mac, I suggest resetting Safari to delete any malicious cookies which could have been planted (likely).

Close Safari completely from the app switcher window by double clicking the Home button and swiping up the Safari preview pane until it disappears from the screen. Then go to Settings > Safari > Clear History and Website Data. Then do a forced restart. Hold down the Home and Wake/Sleep buttons at the same time for about 15-20 seconds until the Apple logo appears.

Extremely helpful! Thank you.

Thank you so much! This helped me as well

You are welcome.

I was unfortunately scammed! I did not see this post until after. I call the number and had a "tech" navigate my computer! I feel like an idiot but worse am wondering what damage has been done if any. I've removed the Citrix (I think that was the download name for the program to access my computer) and followed all the directions to clear history and such. Any advice and little criticism would be greatly appreciated. I don't know what I was thinking...clearly I wasn't. I think I hung up the phone and disconnected them from my computer in time but I don't know.

Your question is different this topic is about iOS. Please create your own Topic in either one of the Mac OS forums or Mac forums here. You get more personal attention that way, instead of being lost at the end of another person's topic.

This was very helpful, worked for us as well.

Call your bank and any financial partner you have and let them know.

Same thing here... Was able to clear it by following the directions. Thanks.

This did the trick. Thanks!

This worked like a charm , even an older moderately technically inclined person as myself could follow and use your easy to to understand method of ridding my Thai wife's I pad ( which I never use) of this annoying problem.
for all you do a very big Thank You ,....

Thank you so much!
