How do I stop a pop up message.

I keep getting a pop.up message from e3mvzvlmg4.pw saying I won $1000 from Amazon. I know it is a scam but I am tired of getting this pop up. I get it about once or twice a week.

Update to the latest version of macOS
Note the website domain in the address bar of the web page that's open in Safari when the popup occurs e.g. acme.xyz and then close that web page
Open Safari Preferences, click on the Security tab and enable Warn when visiting a fraudulent website and also Block pop-up windows
Then click on the Privacy tab and then Manage Website Data...
Find the website domain by searching or scrolling and Remove it
Do the same to the domain you stated the popup comes from

If the pop-up reloads, force quit Safari (command - option/alt - esc) and reopen with the shift key held down. If that doesn't work, disconnect from the Internet, go to Safari/History and delete the website. Quit and reopen with the shift key held down. Then reconnect to the Internet.
