Is is this a scam or a legit warning?

I was browsing safari and suddenly I was brought to a website with apple security In the top, the message said


” your iPhone has been infected with the Trojan virus, if you do not take these proper steps then your data could be sold to third parties.”


When I clicked on fix this it brought me to the App Store to some random app. Is is this a scam or a legit warning?

It's fake. There's no such thing as a Trojan virus, and unless you've just manually uploaded a file, no way for a website to tell there's malware on a macOS or iOS system.
