Don't worry guys, it sounds like a virus/malware to me.

By who here has downloaded avira on their iPhone and when they scanned it there was a chunk called 'wired'

Is that a good or a bad thing? Or is it normally like that?

Same thing happened to me. I was searching for normal adult porn on some amateur websites and then this pop up came up with my location(city)Scared the **** out of me. It was asking for a 100£ and said that I was watching some illegal porn, but I wasn't. I was watching normal adult porn. Did anything happen to you guys or was it really just some ******** scaring people trying to get a 100 bucks? Please let me know

Don't pay it. One look at the other comments on here will show you it's fake. The police don't care about your porn habits and they aren't going to demand money off you via the Internet. Use some common sense.

Are you sure it was a scam? It was asking me for a 100£ and said that I clicked on some illegal stuff even though I didn't and it even knew my location(city)

I had the exact same thing but not in my exact location, near it but not exact, around one hundred miles away in fact, I was looking on a website and it said that I was getting fined for child pornography and illegal movie streaming, which I have done a couple years ago but I didn't understand the rules of stuff like that, did you get any information after this event?

I was visiting a lesbian porn site and I got this screen, it looked like a UN thing, it knew I was in Birmingham and it listed different types of porn and mentioned terms of prison. Really **** me up, I won't be watching porn again. Didn't ask for any money, really worried now, what if the Police come to arrest me?

I think I should get a girlfriend it would be easier.

I'm not sure how much help this is but they are already tracking your IP address.
However I think it might be a virus or malware of some kind, i feel like Apple would be more clever about it. Plus porn is riddled with viruses and redirected website anyway, they couldn't prosecute you for being tricked, they would need to prove intent (just make sure nothing got downloaded to your photos, videos, note etc.

Is your iPad jailbroken one time on my old laptop my computer was seized by the Metropolitan Police for Watching Copyrighted content online illegaly ( I was scared because I was watching a TV Show on putlocker cant remember what) and my webcam was turned on with my face displayed and my address was underneath, I couldn't exit the window but thankfully it only effected one account on my laptop because on my other one it didn't appear. It wouldn't let me get rid of the window I had to pay money for one of their moneypak services in order to "unlock" my laptop.

I was 9 or 10 at the time so this happened either 2010 or 2011 (Now I'm 14) so of course I was scared sh!tless that I was gonna get a criminal record and have to get a mugshot and it will be all over daily mail and BBC News.

Hi all,

Before I start I'd just like to say that, in no way am I wishing to be accused or bashed for this, and that in no way am I guilty of accessing illegal material online.

Basically, I was searching for porn online. Normal everyday porn...amateur, homemade porn specific to my region (I dunno because that's what gets me off). So I search for it, click on some link.

I'm redirected to some other site (at this point I thought nothing of it), and I click to see the video and a pop up comes up on my iPad. Stating the iOS and some big disclaimer type message stating that I've violated some law in the UK (accessing apparent child pornographic material) and that by accessing this material I'm liable for prosecution and That the authorities with trade me, and all activity will be locked. My screen was locked (browser), couldn't switch tabs, and whenever I try to get off it, this Pop up gives me no option to cancel.

At this point, I panic. So I hold down the button on my iPad, and I swipe up to get rid of window and clean my history

thing is, is this a real pop up or virus?? Will I really get prosecuted if I didn't realise if it was illegal material. Is it likely police are actively monitoring me and that they'd tell me via a pop up? Anyone else had this?

I've never had this ever. It scares me.

I wouldnt sweat over it. There's lots of scams on the internet. Most criminals will try any trick to get peoples details and if they ask for money you definitely know its a con. Unless the police do turn up at your door and i dont believe they will there is no need to worry about it.

Now seeing as you love porn here is something that might interest you
EPORNER.com
Click on the one for fat ladies. One in particular on that site called Big woman takes hard c... her name is Chantelle. she's wearing a maids uniform and she is the cleaner in a hotel.
I wasnt sure if i should laugh or be totally traumatised by it. But i laughed all the way through it.
Then an advert on that website came up called Celebrity sex tape.com
that advertised Selina Gomez whacking off Justin Bieber, Lindsey Lohan, Nikki Minaj, etc and lots of other famous people
I wanted to see if it was real but it was asking me to sign up with my credit card details to check im over 18 but they wouldnt charge me anything as id get free access for a certain amount of days. I cant remember how many free days but afer the free offer ends it wont charge me if i cancel my card details before the offer end
I was just curious to see if its real celebs but i didnt want to risk giving my card number incase i forget to cancel. Ill try it one day when i know ive got some money on my card even though i dont need to have money on it until after the free offer ends. But i like to have a good laugh so the celebrity sex tape sounds hillarious

But i want to make it very clear that i was on a normal website then Eporner just popped up on my screen and thats how i saw that. This happens a lot where porn sites just pop up when im already on a normal site.

Eporner didnt ask me for my credit card details it was free but celebrity sex tape did so i dont think youll have any problems on those two sites and you will probably like them both so anyone into porn should look up those two websites

I've looked on the net and seen screens similar to the one I received. It's been two days now, wouldn't they have traced me and turned up at my door by now? I can't understand why the screen didn't ask for money.

Where on earth did you get the idea that getting a girlfriend would be easier?
Shell probably nag you to death, stop you going out and having fun, she wont let you watch porn, youll be arguing all the time, she'll spend all your money, etc, etc
All couples pretend their happy but their miserable due to all these problems then they secretly wish they were single again
Most women who are attractive are usually nuts, e.g Naomi Campbell,
Amber Heard ( Johnny Depp's wife that he was only married to for 1 year and now getting divorced ) so shes going to get all his hard earned cash because he was too stupid to sign a pre- nup.
Stick to porn mate, its cheaper

No , im just joking, or am i ?

Watch that film Don Juan about a man who gets a beautiful girlfriend but she won't let him watch porn so he has to watch it in secret. I think thats the name of the film,
i'm not sure ill have to check later
I think i saw it on Netflix or the free internet film websites Putlocker or Showbox
I love putlocker but 3 days ago Virgin sent a message telling me they blocked it because of 1 or 2 reasons, one being someone's accessing child porn or putlocker is illegal to watch and i must go to the high court if i want to keep watching putlocker. Now first of all iv'e been watching putlocker for 2 or 3 years now and ive never had a problem before and i only ever watch normal films on it and ive never seen child porn and would not either.
I sent an email to Virgin telling them all this and if they dont allow me to access putlocker i will stop using their services and go to another company because their service is crap and over paid anyway but the final straw for me was when they stopped me watching putlocker.

Your not doing anything illegal unless its child porn so you dont need to worry about it. Try Eporner.com and celebrity sex tape.com
