Hello, can you help me out of this issue? Even though it’s very embarrassing, I want my mobile back as I need to contact my family and friends. Yesterday I was watching a porn video then a pop up came up and accused me of viewing porn on my mobile!! I was really freaked out to death. Is it real that watching porn is an illegal thing, because I saw the message labeled by Police logo banner? It says to pay $500 within 24 hrs and has a pic of me and all my contacts and some pictures of animal porn and under age porn that says this is what has been found on your phone and says if you don’t pay they will alert your family? Now every time I turn on my mobile, that warning message is on, and I can’t cancel or close that page and can’t do anything on mobile. I’m really scared that if I won’t pay it ASAP the police is going to arrest me and I also doesn’t know how to take that crap off my mobile?
