IOS 10.3 update has fixed the error that scammers use to try to extort money from iOS users through pop-up JavaScript in Safari.

IOS 10.3 update patched this security hole in Safari

Use "scareware" messages (malicious computer programs designed to trick users into buying and downloading unnecessary, dangerous software like fake antivirus software) and bring up issues like real houses For law enforcement, scammers used a pop-up window to blackmail users as iTunes gift cards, promising to unlock the browser for a sum of money. They register domain names and launch attacks from that domain, such as police-pay.com, names that are intended to scare users into searching for certain types of paid internet documents. Light-hearted users, unaware that simply clearing the browser's cache can fix the problem, they will pay for the browser to be unlocked.

This scam is no longer feasible because Apple has changed the way pop-up dialogs work. The pop-up window has been updated for each tab and no longer takes up the entire Safari application.
