Message popped up that Mac had been infected - call Apple support

A message popped up that said my Mac had been infected and to call Apple Support. There was also a loud tone like the weather service alert or Amber alert. I didn't call the number. Is anyone else getting this ? Am I at risk?

MacBook Pro 15", macOS 10.15
