It seems impossible until it's done.

There are plenty of posts about this, but TL;DR something went wrong and there was two suspicious links. LTT deleted them and flushed the notifications, then reported the flag the website got. With the hours everyone stopped receiving the warnings. Maybe clearing cache in your browser could fix it (I would just wait).
