Last night, I used my Galaxy S6 to go online to watch some funny video, I clicked a link on the screen accidently and I realized that the phone was downloading something on the background automatically. A few minutes later, a pop-up appeared on my screen saying that my phone is blocked up for safety reason, and it claims that there is a fine for me to pay, otherwise I can’t use my phone and the police will come after me. I can’t get out from the pop-up, I was scared. Is it real? I got that darn cyber police virus and it says “Your Device Has Been Blocked Up”. Please help. The one where they want me to pay $100. I’ve never had a virus before. I’ve pinpointed it to a video that tried to automatically download. I’ve tried to remove this video and it won’t let me force stop nor uninstall it. What should I do now?
