How can I fix this? I have read about this virus which can hack into sensitive files. I have a Samsung Galaxy S5 which was blocked by the Prism ransomware yesterday. I was on my cell phone going thru the internet saving some bookmarks and downloading a few videos, all of a sudden I picked up this Prism virus on my Android phone. All I saw on the phone screen is the Prism warning message saying “Your Phone has been blocked”. It claimed that I was accused by cyber security and required to pay a fine of $300 to unlock device. Is it a real police alert or fake one? Am I really involved in a cybercrime? How do I get rid of this Prism warning message from my android phone? I need my cell phone unlocked as i have important pictures on it. I really need help! Any Android phone unlock guide will be highly appreciated.

My Android phone has just received this FBI Vanilla Reloadcard alert saying “Your phone has been blocked”. My phone is a Samsung Galaxy S5 which I bought five days ago. I tried to make e-payment on the Android when I picked up the scaring FBI Vanilla Reload warning asking for a fine ranging from $100 to $500 to unlock my device. I can’t close the FBI warning page or access any app on the phone. What shall I do? Is it a real Vanilla Reloadcard notification from a law enforcement agency or just a phone malware scam? If it is a fake FBI Vanilla Reload alert, how can I get it off my Android phone? I’m just sending a message because a couple of days ago, i got some fake pop up blocker accusing me of watching illegal pornography. it demanded $500 or something, claimed it was FBI, multiple windows with porn ads popped up and then this blocker with all of these fake articles/laws telling me they’ve caught me viewing illegal pornography, which obviously, i was not doing. Do these people have access to other info of mine now? If you have tried but to no avail, please go over this post and unlock your Android phone from the virus scam manually with following removal tips.

Description of FBI Vanilla Reloadcard Virus on Android Phone

FBI Vanilla Reloadcard virus is a dangerous ransomware which is similar to DOJ virus, FBI Maneypak virus, AFP virus or RCMP virus etc. It now also targets on phones with android system and Mac OS X system. And more and more phone users now are trouble with this virus. Once FBI Vanilla Reloadcard virus infects your phone, it will lock your phone and start showing a huge warning message which occupies the whole screen and asks you to pay a ransom via MoneyPak, Vanilla Reload or RELoadit prepayment systems within a limited time. It performs evil activities as what DOJ virus, FBI Moneypak virus does on the phone. FBI Vanilla Reloadcard malware pretends to be FBI or some legitimate law enforcement agency or branch of government to display a fake police warning telling that your phone has been blocked due to your violation of United States of America law and you are accused of breaking the law and involving such activities as distributing and sharing copyright material, sending spam email messages, and distributing pornographic material online, and you are demanded to pay a fake fine of $100-$500 to unlock your phone within a limited time. FBI Vanilla Reloadcard malware also displays a threatening message that you are obligated to pay a release fee of $100 or more within 24 hours or 72 hours, otherwise your device is still locked and you may undertake legal consequences. Many people, even some clearly know they don’t do anything bad, will be freaked out and pay the fine without a second thought as it requires, because they scare and are worried about facing prosecution or being caught by police. Actually this virus has nothing to do with FBI or legitimate law enforcement agency or branch of government. FBI Vanilla Reloadcard virus just wants to scare you by blocking infected phone and displaying fake message in order to cheat you into paying the fine. Even though you send the fine, your phone is still locked. Don’t be such a fool, but instead you should take prompt actions to kick it off from your phone.

Holy moly! Is that real I got a wanted poster from Royal Canadian Mounted Police from my smart phone? It asked me to pay $300 for breaking same laws. It’s something about copyright which I don’t comprehend very much; otherwise the police will put me in jail. Well, first of all, I have to confess, I did download some free German songs from a site that claim all songs are free when I answered a call of nature.That was a unintentional behavior, I’m always fiddling with my phone in the bathroom, you know, it’s the best way to kill time. And this time, I was visiting some music website to search information about new songs; I could not remember how many sites I browsed, and which one leaded me to Royal Canadian Mounted Police. I don’t want to get into trouble; normally I will pay for the music copyright for the songs, but these German songs I could not find any download resource in each big famous website, forum or anything else, so I made a mistake to trust the free download site. Anyway, I don’t know what to do at the moment, it really upsets me, I don’t want to be a poor gullible person who pays for the money, but I’m also afraid if the RCMP thing is true. seriously, what should I do? Please help!

Brief Introduction to RCMP Virus on Phone

RCMP Virus not only can affect your Mac or computer, but also screw up your phone as well now. It has been widely infected in North America, mostly in Canada. Now RCMP virus is already spreading to smart phones. It’ll be rampant and getting worse in the future. Both computer users and phone users, when get infected by RCMP virus, will have the similar warning page on their screen. If you are seeing an “Your phone has been blocked up  for safety reason!” notification that pretends to be from the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, then your phone has probably locked by this virus. That’s a bogus notification, and it threats you by telling you that you had violated laws with the distribution of pornographic materials, SPAM and copyright content. In order to make this bogus notification more real, there will be some private information about users on the screen, such as IP, which some people may really think that’s true. Well, I would like to teach you a lesson here, the message displayed by the threat can be localized depending on the user’s location with text written in the appropriate language. And you may also read from the screen that, when you pay the fine, your phone will be unblocked in 3 to 12 hours after the money is put into states’ account. Let me tell you something, even you really pay for the money, your phone will still be locked, nothing really changed, no matter you wait for that long or not. Cyber criminals often updated the design of the lock screen. However, I have to remind all innocent victims, you should not pay any money which the page asks you to at no circumstances, even if you thought you actually did something wrong. There’s no such thing like the government or Police will ask you to pay 300$ from the internet, anyway, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police will never lock down your computer or monitor your online activities.

Hey, please help! There is a virus on my phone Samsung Galaxy S3. It is locked and I cannot do anything now. The whole screen is all about West Yorkshire Police. It said my phone has been locked, and if I want to unlock my phone, I need to pay £100 via Ukash, and then it says all phone data will be detained and criminal procedures will be initiated against me if the fine will not be paid. & it’s telling me I need to get an Ukash in order to pay off the £100fine. I’m really scared. Is this really or not? Do I need to pay the fine?

Description of West Yorkshire Police Virus on Android Phone

West Yorkshire Police Virus (also called West Yorkshire Police Ukash Virus) is a new version of Metropolitan Police Ukash Virus. It has been distributed for along time and mainly attacks computers with windows system and Mac. Now cyber criminals become more and more greedy; they upgrade the virus version to make it easily and aggressively infect android phone in order to obtain more fake fine. So now this phone market is exploited, phone is easier to get this virus. West Yorkshire Police virus is a nasty virus and conducts same destructive activities on phone as it does on the computer. As soon as it drops on your phone, it will modify your phone system setting, and then the whole phone screen will be covered with its fake warning alert. It claims that your device was used for illegal purpose and has been locked for violation of UK laws, and also tells you in detail that your activities are involved with the following situation: Visiting websites containing pornography, viewing and distributing pornographic content, spreading spam, illegally using or distributing copyrighted content and so on. And it completely locks your phone and doesn’t allow you to do anything on your phone. In the alert window, it also claims that your device has been blocked to prevent further violation of law and you have to pay penalty equal to £100 via Ukash or paysafecard within 24 hours to unlock your phone. If you pay the fine in time, your phone will be released within 24 hours. But if you don’t, all the data will be removed from your phone and criminal procedures will be initiated against you automatically after 24 hours. Many people may believe that is true and pay the fine, but eventually their phone are still locked and make money loss. Therefore, don’t be such a fool to trust this scam malware but to take prompt action to remove it completely from your phone.

Hey, can you help me remove NSA virus scam from my mobile device like phone/tablet? I have a Samsung galaxy s5 which I believe has malware. Everytime I load something on the internet I keep getting a blocked NSA saying ive been suspected of seeing child porn and need to pay $100 or $250. It’s like a police investigation saying my location and I was downloading illegal videos and music. Porn and eligal porn. And I can not open internet anymore cause every time I do the message pop up!!! How can I fix this? My smart phone has gotten the NSA message. In this morning, about 4 am, my pet cat was bitten by a roach in this “lovely” hotel, and I had to use my phone to look up some information about how to help my cat. When I got online, I got an answer page and then I clicked on an answer page and a page came up and said my phone was locked and I had to send in money to greenbox or pay a huge fine, otherwise I would be in trouble of law even put in jail. It is very ridiculous. I don’t trust it. I tried to get out of the tab, but this message cannot be closed. Now my phone is useless. I can’t do anything on it. How can I remove this NSA virus?

Description of NSA Virus Scam on Android Phone/Tablet

The NSA Virus is short for National Security Agency Virus, and it can be also called NSA Internet Surveillance Program Virus or Prism Scam. This is also a kind of ransomware like FBI virus, CCIP virus etc. It is a new variant of Department of Justice virus or US Homeland Security virus scam. It has been spread online for a long time and attacked thousands of computers, and millions of PC users has got trouble with it and suffered from heavy financial loss. Even thought cyber criminals have defrauded of plenty of fake fine, they are still very greedy and want more illegal profits. So they upgrade NSA Virus and strengthen its aggressive invasion ability to invade android phone/tablet. It is reported that more and more mobile users have been taken in and pay money for it as it required. It performs evil activities as it does on computer. Once it log on your mobile device, it usually displays a large alert window which occupies the whole screen of your phone/tablet to claim that your device has been blocked due to some law-breaking activities, and also lists your activities involved with law violation. You are accused of distributing and sharing copyright material, sending spam email messages, and distributing pornographic material online. Generally, more specific articles will be listed on the blocking page to specify your violations. And it completely locks your phone/tablet and doesn’t allow you to do anything on your phone/tablet. Then in order to get your phone unlocked, it claims that you have to send the fine through greendot moneypak of $300 or more within a limited time. If time has expired and you haven’t been able to enter the payment as required, you may have to face prosecution as well as imprisonment. Many users are scared and worried about being caught by the police and getting device blocked forever, they submit the penalty without giving it a second thought. Actually this virus has nothing to do with National Security Agency of United States.

Don’t such a fool and what you should do first is to remove NSA Virus from your phone/tablet right away.
