Today I had a weird call on my iPad from someone who didn’t even bother asking who I was. They just wanted me to quickly say my iPad’s model and serial numbers. I got a bad vibe straight away. Then, they put me on hold with actual hold music playing! When they came back, they claimed there were intrusions on my iPad based on those details, but it honestly sounded like they were just reading off a script. I decided to hang up. Fingers crossed that just sharing those two iPad identifiers didn’t let them get into my stuff.

Total scam, honestly. Don't hand over any details to them, it's better to stay safe.

If that pop-up is bothering you, just ring up ATT Support and they should sort it out for you. Whatever you do, don’t phone the number on the pop-up - it’s definitely a scam. Apple usually sorts these glitches free and quite fast too.

Hey everyone, I ran into the same issue and managed to sort it out. What I did was head over to my downloads and removed a file named Mplayerx.dmg. Give that a try!

Just experienced something similar - my Safari suddenly got blocked and I was told to ring +18006804131. They talked me through how to force quit and then open Safari while holding shift. Foolishly, I gave them remote access to my laptop. Things felt off when they asked me to visit www.techstation247.com and restart my machine, so I stopped right there. Now I’m really anxious they might have seen my personal info. Can someone tell me what steps I should take next?

I ran into the exact same issue. I rang the number and got some bloke whose accent I couldn’t make out. Then he passed me on to another guy who sounded really croaky, said he had a cold and that’s why he was hard to understand. He asked to access my computer and wanted £100 to fix whatever problem he claimed I had. I declined and he just ended the call. After that, I force-closed Safari, then went into my Applications folder. Holding down command + shift, I opened a dialog box for your desk drive, still holding the keys, and double-clicked Safari. It opened up fine without that irritating pop-up telling me to call the number. Plus, I managed to dodge paying that £100!

Step 1: Close Safari completely. Step 2: Press and hold the shift key, then click on the Safari icon.

Just got a call from this number today and freaked out a bit. I ended up calling back, and the bloke started trying to take over my Mac. I told him I couldn’t pay anything and said sorry, but now I’m really worried they might have nicked my info. Does anyone know how I can report this to Apple? Feeling proper scared right now.

I totally freaked out and gave away my card details and computer access just ‘cause I had a college paper due. I rang my bank straight away and they sorted me with a new card. I told them I was gonna take my laptop to Apple to get it checked, so they wiped out whatever was put on there. So far, no charges on my card aside from a pending one. Anyone got any tips on what I should do next?

I'm pretty sure this was a con. The caller said they were from Apple support, using the number 1800 680 4131. The person on the other end spoke with a noticeable accent and asked for my full name. I refused and asked them for their name instead, and then they just dropped the line after a few seconds. Definitely seems dodgy to me.

This has absolutely no connection to Apple. From what I’ve dealt with, it’s just one of those annoying pop-ups where the only way to close it is by force quitting Safari. After that, if you head over to Safari’s settings, then security, and disable Javascript, that irritating popup won’t reappear. But be warned, turning Javascript off can also break some features on other websites you visit. I only encounter this awful popup when using uploaded.net to download stuff. If I switch to any other download option on that same site, I don’t have to deal with that annoying script at all.

I got a message just like that one. When I rang the 1-800 number, they walked me through this stuff…

First, quit Safari by clicking the Apple menu at the top left.
Then, hold down Shift while reopening Safari - apparently that should break the annoying loop.
After that, Safari opened okay and the weird pop-up message disappeared.

Next, they told me to visit their site: www.techstation247.com and let a tech take control of my laptop. I stopped right there because something felt fishy - it seemed like a scam.

I Googled the phone number 18006804131 and stumbled on this blog.

Big thanks to whoever shared this info. Definitely worth reporting to Apple.

These guys try to push you a security programme for £199. I nearly got caught out but something didn’t add up about their 'connection' with Apple. The message popped up saying something like:
"http://www.mac-systems-alerts.com
Safari - Warning
Suspicious Activity Detected.
Urgent Security Problem
Please ring Apple Support on +1 800-680-4131 (Free Call) right away!"

Feels like just a scam to get you to buy their software, in my opinion.

Close Safari through the Safari menu first. Then, when you open Safari again, it tries to reload the page. Quickly click the red close button to shut it down before it completely loads, or else you’ll just get stuck in the same cycle.

Got the exact same alert popping up, so I quickly looked it up on my phone and stumbled across this site. I closed the Safari window straight away, but is there anything else I need to do to make sure my computer’s safe? I don’t have any antivirus software installed on my Mac, is that something I should be worried about? Appreciate any advice, cheers!

Looks like a scam to me. I got that annoying pop-up warning from macsystemalerts.com on Safari and it just wouldn’t budge. Here’s what worked for me: First, I forced Safari to close by pressing command + option + esc all at once. A window popped up, I picked Safari (if it wasn’t already highlighted) and hit Force Quit. After it closed, I reopened Safari but held down the shift key while launching it. Also, I had to switch off my Wifi for a bit. Just clicked the Wifi symbol on the top bar and chose “Turn Wifi off”. Tried to load a new page but got no internet, as expected. Then I switched my Wifi back on the same way and reconnected to my network. Hope this helps anyone stuck with that pesky warning!

Hey, just wanted to say this really helped me out, cheers Dominic23! So, those sites are dodgy scammers. If Safari gets stuck like mine did with that macsystemalerts.com pop-up, here’s a trick I saw on the Apple forums thanks to Dominic23. First, you gotta force quit Safari. Hit command + option + esc all at once, wait for the window to pop up. If Safari isn’t already highlighted, click it, and then press the Force Quit button. Wait a bit and it should shut down properly. Next, open Safari again but keep pressing the shift key as it launches. After that, turn off your Wifi by clicking the Wifi icon on the top bar and choosing “Turn Wifi off.” Try loading another site and, as expected, no internet. Then switch your Wifi back on and reconnect to your usual network. That sorted it for me, hope it helps someone else stuck with this annoying scam alert!

I received a message from this number saying there was a "Security Alert," then my screen froze and told me to ring the number straight away. They said they were Apple support. I decided to call them back. The bloke who answered, calling himself "Chris," had a strong accent and was pretty rude. He started asking loads of personal details before saying he wanted to remotely access my computer and kept asking about my security setup. That set alarm bells ringing big time! I told him I needed to check and get back to him. Without a word, he just disconnected the call.

Beware, they are definitely con artists. If your Safari gets stuck on that macsystemalerts.com warning, here’s something that helped me, shared by Dominic 23 on Apple forums. First, hit command + option + esc all at once. When the Force Quit window pops up, choose Safari if it’s not already selected, then click the Force Quit button down below. Safari should close after a moment. Next, open Safari again but hold down the shift key as it launches. Then, turn your WiFi off by clicking the WiFi symbol in the menu bar and selecting “Turn WiFi off”. Try loading another site and obviously, it won’t load without the internet. After that, turn the WiFi back on from the same menu, pick your network, and you should be good to go. This fixed the problem for me, hope it helps you too!
