Javascript Fine Warning Locked Mobile Device? Popup Unlock Guide

I have an iPhone. Yesterday I accidentally clicked a link on an inappropriate website and all of a sudden a message popped up saying that I had to pay 500$ within 24 hours or I would be persecuted for violating some rights or whatever and charged as a criminal. It was just a plane white page and it even gave me my location. I was scared to death and then I searched online, fortunately I found it was just a virus. The javascript fine warning blocked my Internet and I can’t leave the page or minimize it so I am unable to get online now. How do I get rid of the locked page and remove the virus completely?

It will claim you have done something illegal with your mobile device, and that you are being fined by a police force or government agency such as FBI, AFP, Cyber Police or Royal Canadian Mounted Police etc. You will not be able to cancel or leave the page. Whenever you try to do that, a fake police pop up will come and ask if you are sure you want to leave the page (a classic JavaScript warning notice), with the options to leave or stay on the page. If you click to leave, the initial warning which keeps asking you to pay for the fine will appear again, and the process starts again.
