I just saw this and felt I should share it. I'm sure most people here wouldn't fall for it but it can't hurt to make sure 👍

Edit: I just wanted to add, I have no idea what this tried to copy. I'm using Firefox on Linux which is perhaps why it didn't make it to my clipboard 🤷

For me accessing that site in Firefox on Windows (even with uBO) does trigger the scam popup, but in any other browser I tried (Edge, Chrome, FF dev edition), it doesn't. Kinda interesting.

The popup does not manage to add anything to the clipboard. There are tons of JS errors in the console, so luckily the thing seems to be pretty broken right now.
