iOS

Scam popups, phishing attempts, “virus”alerts, etc

1. Force Close Safari. https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201330

2. Clear history and website data from Safari: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201265

3. Stop pop-up ads on Safari

Pop-ups and ads in Safari

"If you see an annoying pop-up in Safari, you can go to the Search field and enter a new URL or search term to browse to a new site.

If you don’t see the Search field on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, tap the top of the screen to make it appear.

Some popups and ads have fake buttons that resemble the close button, so use caution if you try to close

a pop-up or ad. If you're unsure, avoid interacting with the popup or ad and close the Safari window or tab."

As already mentioned, it is a phishing scam. Ignore it. Do not respond or provide any information.

If you are in Miami there are several Apple Stores you can go to that will sell you an iPhone X.

Feb 10, 2018 6:23 PM in response to nehmatfrommiami

No. Just go to the local Apple Store with money in your pocket and they will sell it to you.

Нет, нет. Это тот же самый ответ, что и остальные в этой теме. Это жульничество. Не отвечайте на сообщение.

Sorry clown, I’ve been working on the Internet since it was Arpanet in the 1980’s. Save your garbage for morons.

A new alias already?

What does that have to do with a javascript browser hijack. Just because you worked on it back then doesn't really mean anything today.

Whoop-dee-doo. I am just sooooo impressed. Let's see, I was working on computers before there was an Internet. Do I win?

And do you think name calling really helps your cause?
