Hi, unfortunately I was hit with this cyber crime unit scam, and what can I do to remove it? They are giving me 48 hours to send $500 thru PayPal which seems strange because it would be untraceable and on top of that if it’s a legal site why isn’t there a contact number? It says my device is blocked up for safety reasons. It displayed my IP Address, Location, and Name. I read something of this nature: “illegal activity distribution of child pornography”. However, I wasn’t viewing anything of that nature, so I’m curious as to why I received such a blocked cyber crime unit pop-up? Now the device is locked totally and I can’t do anything on it. Please help me exit out this scam page.
