Last night, I was on Youtube watching a funny talk show, all of sudden, my Safari had been redirected to a strange page which I have never seen before. It claims that it comes from ACMA saying that I have watched some inappropriate materials on the web and broken the law. I swear I didn’t do anything about that. I was shaking and crying when seeing the warning. My safari crashed and they want me to pay a 500 dollar fee as a fine, if I don’t pay, I will be arrested by the police. There is a timer showing on the page and I only have 72 hours to finish paying. It says that I created a felony, is it true? Am I in great trouble with the police?
