Definitely not. All such messages are scams. Close the offending page, and avoid sites that are involved in such bogus advertising tactics.

Avoid phishing emails, fake 'virus' alerts, phony support calls, and other scams - Apple Support

Thank you, very much, Stedman, for the response. I'll delete the message. It uses certyvpn.com as its web site. I wish I could block it.
