I have a cyber police itunes scam on my tablet. It looks pretty real and says since I went to some adult sites so I could face prison time. I had ever visited some pornhub sites before but never got anything like this. I searched online and found that was a scam. The pop up uses American National Security Agency seals and banner to trick users and it completely blocked my tablet. When I put my pin in, it locks up everything on the tablet so I cannot do anything on it. It says I have about 71 hours left to pay $100 with an iTunes gift card. What should I do? How do I unlock my tablet from this cyber police virus? I am using a Samsung Galaxy 10.1 if that helps.
