Just ignore it. It’s a malicious ad trying to trick you into giving up personal data or money

If it comes back you may need to

Force quit safari

go into your icloud settings and turn off iCloud syncing for safari

throw away your safari history

and reboot your ipad

You may also wish to not revisit the site you picked it up from. Either they know they are dishing up nasty stuff or the ads they serve have been hacked to dish this stuff out.
