Im 99% certain this is a scam- malware type message. Ive had it appear once or twice when trying to access a known website for media. Have a look at the screen shot below.

Once it appears on the screen you cant close the window except by quitting safari completely.
Could my machine be infected with malware? If anyone knows what i should check to make sure im safe.

Thanks
 
I sent a feedback to Apple a few weeks ago regarding this problem. I hope they patch Safari to limit the max height of an alert or make the close button always visible.

Thanks guys, i have now downloaded and done a malwarebytes scan as suggested. Scan was very quick and everything seems to be fine.
