iPhone 8 Plus “viruses”?

Hi was visited Porn hub like twice and now my phone says I have 8 viruses, then I look for virus protection and all require monthly or yearly purchase, it’s not even like one payment, is it even true to get a virus from visiting that site twice? Or is it a scam?

Have no fear, as Neil stated, its a scam. Usually those are just Safari page reroutes or popups.
