Getting rid of pop up protection.fixer1.site/14bGvDem

I have an iPhone 10xr. Latest version 13.4.1

On Settings for Safari, I have selected/ checked the boxes for Block Pop-Ups and Fraudulent Website Warnings. I have also tried Clear Website history and Data. Nothing works. This annoying site pops up constantly. The /slash numbers and letters change frequently.

I tried googling "protection.fixer1.site" and it takes me to a page that says I have a virus on my phone and warns that if I don't enter their site, my phone will crash. I have not entered their site.

The messages that come in on my phone have, in the top left corner a box with today's date, and to the right of that small box CALENDAR.

Below is a message caption which obviously is intended to grab attention...like "You have a delivery" or "You have won an iPhone" or "Your payment has been declined" and many, many more.

PLEASE HELP!! I don't what this is but I cannot get rid of it. And I don't know what it is doing to my phone!!!

iPhone XR, iOS 13

It appears that have calendar events notifications showing up on the screen of your iPhone.

Go to Settings-->>Passwords & Accounts and under Accounts see if an unknown calendar account is listed. If it is then tap on it and then Delete account.

Note that it is not a virus. It is something that got added to your calendar because you may have accepted an offer from a pop-up on a website unknowingly. Please be careful out there,

Good Luck.
