27 viruses

So I go on some websites and when I open the website I always see another tab that says your phone has been infected with 27 viruses and if I didn’t get this app then I would lose my contacts and the battery would overheat and make my phone mess up. Is it true?

No, all such messages are scams. Close the offending page, and avoid sites that are involved in such bogus advertising tactics.
