A pop-up appeared while on safari with a toll free number. It said, "Warning! Apple Security Breach! IOS Security Crash!" Then it tells me to contact this toll free number 1-844-749-1071 for assistance immediately. Is this a scam?

Safari wasn't acting properly after this pop-up with a toll free number came up saying something about a security breach and how I should call the toll free number immediately. I haven't had this happen to me before, so I wanted some insight on if this is a possible scam and what can I do to make safari accessible again?

iPhone 6s, iOS 10.3.1
