I have a message like “Your device has been blocked due to illegal activity” on my Ipad. It is frightening and i am very worried. So i turn off the Ipad in case of more damages. It demands 100 pounds to unlock Safari within 24 hours. It seems problem can be fixed in this way? But if I don’t pay, it says something like police will come to house to arrest me and i will be sentenced in prison because i watch illegal porn content. This is unbelievable and ridiculous. I was just watching normal video clips on a website. Suddenly, this thing shows up and take control of the Safari. Anyway, I want to know if they are real law enforcement department? Is the message real or just a scam? How can I get rid of it without paying 100 pounds? Please help me! Thanks!
