Am I gonna get charged for this? - Dan O - 06-24-2014 06:30 AM
I'm seriously so scared right now... I opened a porn video, and it redirects me to this police website saying I have been accused of looking at / possessing child pornography! wtf??! I then got locked out of my browser and it says I have to pay to "ukash" within 50 hours a $100 fine, or else I face like 3-7 years of criminal charges?? Is this a legit thing?? I restarted my computer after this, and im really scared right now.

It may be a scam...if anything you would get that in a written statement through the mail.

I believe it is a scam. Because if you were viewing a child porno, then the police would be already knocking at your door.

This seem like a virus. The cop would not conduct this kind of activity of blackmailing people for money...

Don't worry many sites probably do this people are always looking for ways to scam and get money out this. If they knew you possessed such things they wouldn't give you the chance to pay your way out they would throw you in jail and leave you there for your whole life. So… don't worry! :-)

It's a virus/malware
If it was law enforcement they wouldn't be asking for money, they would just show up at your door with a search warrant and warrant for your arrest
Download Malwarebytes, Malwarebytes Anti-Rootkit, and AdwCleaner.
Run a complete scan with them in that order them and remove whatever they find
