Hi Bill That’s a scam. Just quit out of Safari. (or hold option key down and click on Safari icon in the dock to choose “Force Quit”. Then restart the computer. After it starts up again hold down the Shift key and open Safari. This then “resets” the last page opened, so it won’t try and load it again. All should then be ok.
If you want to just check “just incase” you can download MalwareBytes Anti-Malware and run a scan as well. This will just check there is no Malware installed. That can be downloaded from here - https://www.malwarebytes.com/mac/ Kind regards Daniel Sent from my iPhone XS --- Daniel Kerr MacWizardry Phone: 0414 795 960 Email: <daniel AT macwizardry.com.au> Web: <http://www.macwizardry.com.au> **For everything Apple** NOTE: Any information provided in this email may be my personal opinion and as such should be taken accordingly, and may not be the views of MacWizardry.
