Hi   !
Good for you not to fall for it   ! It is,   as you already gathered,   a fake .
Scammers have been using this tactic,   trying to get users to download and infect their computer. Hard to get rid off,   as they will change their   URL   on a daily basis. You could consider this ad-blocking add-on:
