Is this really APPLE or a sales hoax

This thing keeps popping up!
Can I get rid of it? Or should I call the phone number?

This is a HOAX.. DO NOT call the number


Best thing to do is quit your browser, then restart your Mac.

I agree with MacsBug. Apple would never refer to their Mac as a “PC.” The incursion could have been more serious. I suggest reinstalling macOS.

But, How do I remove it permanently?
Resort and it is not there, until it comes again!
I have searched for several words on the screen, but no good!

This can be malware that you have on your Mac, Or you can have software that is enabling a malicious link.

What Mac do you have, and what version of macOS are you running.

Also, I would recommend downloading the free version of MalwareBytes (https://www.malwarebytes.com) and run it.

Hi,

I assume this is in Safari? If so, clear all history and cookies, quit Safari, the relaunch it. You can download with another browser if you have one, then install and run Malwarebytes for Mac also.

If not in Safari, look in  > System Preferences and see if there is an icon called Profiles. If so, see f there are any in there and let us know.

Here's an article that shows some of the steps: The “Apple Security Warning App: Ads.fiancetrack2 .dll” Scam
