Brief Description of blocked-safari.com Scam Virus

If your browser has been blocked by blocked-safari.com, your device is infected a piece of scam malware. It takes your browser hostage and demands a fine to unblock. In order to get money, it steals the name and logo of FBI Cyber Crime to threaten you. The blocked-safari.com scam virus can sneak into your device fast and secretly when you are browsing as usual.

Your Safari browser has been blocked up for viewing and distributing illegal materials prohibited by the criminal law of the United States of America, called pornography with elements of child pornography, rape and zoophilia.
In order to unblock your Safari browser, you are obligated to pay a fine in the amount of $ 100.00 with iTunes Prepaid Card.

After that, a dialog box pops up, saying that Safari cannot open the page because the address is invalid. A “OK” button is provided, but it actually does not work.
