That reads as a scam message to me @DP046 , you will note how they want you to click a button which will probably direct to a website thst you do not want to be on. If you received this via email then mark it as spam so it gets deleted.

They could well be scam messages so what did they want you to do ?

This was the message below supposedly from Apple security I didn't click on it but now I am getting messages saying my IP address is outside of the Uk ( it isn't and shouldn't be)

 

Apple Security 

Hackers are watching you!

Your Apple iPhone connection has been hacked and someone is watching on you!

Please do not close this page. If you don't fix this in two minutes, the hacker will reveal your identity and send your browsing history and front-facing camera photos to everyone in your contacts!

1 minute 15 seconds

Recovery method:

Step 1: Click the "Connection Protection" button below.

Step 2: You will be redirected to the App Store.

Step 3: Install and run the recommended protection app to recover your Apple iPhone.

@DP046   I completely agree with @caesarome  that is a supsicious message and looks like an attempt to get your personal details 

 

I'd wager both the connection protection button and app store are fake sites.

Like you I'm a customer here, Sky Employees are clearly identified as such.

Hi yes I realised straight away it may be a scam so I didn't click on anything but the problem now is that I am getting messages saying my ISP,/IP address is outside the uk and this is what I need help with. Thanks

Is this another email that you are being sent that says this ?
