    It must be because you are using an iPad 4s. I don't think it's genuine Apple.

    If you were using Safari, reset your browser in settings. That pop up is a scam but it came from whatever website you were visiting.

    It is a weather forcast webpage using an application. Does not use a browser.

    This is the application on the upper left side of the photograph.
    Look at this scam.-imageuploadedbyimore-forums1450545769.427955.jpg

    You got that pop up in a Weather app? You may want to delete that app and notify the developer. There's plenty other weather apps.

    This weather application is much more less complicated than the others.

    But at what cost? Getting scammed? Something worse?

    "These sausages taste better than all the others but they give me horrible heartburn. I'll have some more, please!"

    Your call to keep it, but if it's giving you that kind of issue I would delete it and look for something else. There is NO shortage of weather apps.

    Sausages taste great. Hot spicy Italian sausage is groovy. Do not know anything about heart burning though.

    True. Dip them in red pepper sprinkles. Those are groovy.
