    If your antivirus didn't detect any threat and you are sure there is no suspicious program, this should be a random redirect during your browsing. Do you see this pop-up repeatedly? If not, you can just close this page with Task Manager without clicking on its window. Don't call the number. This is a scam and you can't be fooled.
    Just ignore it.
