safari shield.tech
While using the internet on my iPad, safarishield.tech has locked me out of internet. It is warning me a remote spyware could have been remotely activated on my device. Is this legit??

Avoid phishing emails, fake 'virus' alerts, phony support calls, and other scamsIf you see pop-up alerts or ads
When you browse the web, you might see a pop-up ad or a page warning you about a problem with your device. It might even look like the alert is coming from macOS or iOS. It isn’t. These alerts are pop-ups, designed to trick you into calling a phony support number or buying an app that claims to fix the issue. Don’t call the number. Simply navigate away from that page, or close the window or tab, and continue browsing.
Also, I recommend forcing Safari to close and testing the issue.
