I have a Department of Justice notice popped up on my iPhone saying it was accusing me of watching child pornography and it said I violated copyright and related rights law so I need to pay $500 fine. It crashed my Safari app and said it would lock up my iPhone if the fine is not paid within 48 hours. Every time I closed it, it would immediately pop up again. It scared me and now I don’t know if I’m actually being charged or it is a scam. It said my location, IP address and everything, which all looks real. I have restarted my iPhone a hundred times but the pop up was still there. And every time I attempt to access Safari on my iPhone after restarting phone, I still see the pop up from someone pretending to be the Department of Justice saying that I am subject to a fine and it won’t go away. Help!
