Internet 'porn' scam warning from Strathclyde Police

Internet users have been warned about a scam message claiming to be from Scottish police asking to pay a fine for viewing adult content.

Strathclyde Police said officers were aware of a number of incidents where a pop-up window appeared, telling users their machine had been locked.
The message claims they have been viewing adult content and asks users to pay a £100 fine over the phone.

Strathclyde police probably became aware of the scam when their machines locked up at the station.
