iPhone iPod-Touch Scam

	There I was, checking the currency rates, when up popped a notice informing me that I needed to update my iPod-Touch. Without thinking, I clicked "update". OOPS! This is clearly a scam. My iPod-Touch is NOT infected but this page has hijacked my "Safari" web browser. The "button" icons are unresponsive. How to get out of it? Quit the page by pressing the mechanical button. Go to "Settings". Set "Airplane Mode" to ON. Quit Settings. Launch Safari. Click "OK" to the OS message relating to the setting I just changed. Click "OK" to (ha ha) begin the repair process (but WiFi is still OFF).
	Now this screen appears BUT I now have access to the controls so I simply click the "bookmarks" icon (looks like an open book).
	Now I can choose any bookmark and the web browser attempts to load that page. Of course it can't load yet because the iPod is still in "Aircraft Mode" so I return to "Settings" to re-enable WiFi, then back to the browser and the selected page loads. Problem solved. Note: had I not been able to select "Aircraft Mode", or set WiFi to OFF, I would simply have turned off my wireless router.
