    Identity theft is a serious business and it can not be solved without police and an attorney.

    Identity theft password theft pop up warning of attempt.

    Thanks for the images, they help a lot! I’d suggest that these popups are malware and as you said, an attempt at identity theft. You’ve done well to not enter your username and password.

    Try running scans with the below apps to remove the malware, and the popups should go away:

    Free Virus Scan | Online Virus Scan from ESET

    AdwCleaner - Free Adware Cleaner & Removal Tool

    Let me know how you go!

    on the site before you decide to download and install it.
