iCloud/iPad scam???

[lurker172602]

I just tried to open iCloud on my iPad and got this message

I strongly suspect this is a scam of some sort.  My questions are

1. Is it?

2. How do I get rid of it without clicking OK?

3. What should I do next?

1. Is it?  Probably

2. How do I get rid of it without clicking OK? Got no idea

3. What should I do next? Panic. I find screaming and flapping arms helps

I've googled, but can't find anything. Can you just turn it off? and restart it. I don't have an ipad, so i don't know how they work.

with an address like that I would think it's a scam of some sort. Perhaps try to reset your ipad, powering off

Tried powering off, no joy.  I'm googling too, I can;t find anything.

Have you done this? If so I think you are in trouble. This usually fixes everything.

How to Reboot the iPad

Hold down the Sleep/Wake button for several seconds. (This is the button shown in the diagram above.)
The iPad will prompt you to slide a button to power off the iPad. Follow the directions on the screen by sliding the button from the left side to the right to reboot the iPad.
If the iPad is frozen or stuck, hold down both the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button. This will force the iPad to power down.
The iPad screen will display the circle of dashes which indicates it is busy. Once the iPad has finished shutting down completely, the screen will go completely black.
Once the iPad's screen is completely black, hold down the Sleep/Wake button for several seconds. This will allow you to restart the iPad.
When the Apple logo appears in the middle of the screen, you can release the Sleep/Wake button. The iPad will restart shortly after the logo appears.

Done. 

I'm trying to get onto Apple live support now

Any other ideas?

[harley_babes_hoard]

nope I'm afraid i'm out of ideas. As I said that usually fixes things. Good luck with it.

[lurker172602]

All fixed

I got ontop apple live support and had a (very nice) chat with one of their people who assured me it was all ok and just at a keying error.

I might just be in love

Oh that's great. Glad it wasn't suspect
