Hello. Are the Federal Bureau of Investigation sites that pop up when viewing pornography sites real? I got warning from the FBI after clicking on an advertised porn site( I know it is a bad habit and I’ve been trying to break it). The warning wants me to pay $500 in three business days. It had a screenshot of my face, knew my location and said that if I didn’t pay, they would contact my family and friends. It even had their numbers on there! Is this real?? I am freaking out! I’ve never been in trouble before!! What do I do? Please help me out.

If you did violate laws, they would just break in your house and arrest you directly. You may wonder why your phone/tablet is blocked since you haven’t done anything wrong. It is because your phone/tablet has been hacked. This fake FBI warning is caused by a virus which is created by the cyber criminals. Its owner is not the FBI. You are not in trouble with the police.
