Some Messages appeared in the internal calendar of my I-Phone:”Protect your phone by clicking this link” and similar. I Thank it is a hacker. What should I do?

No, it is not a hacker. Not a virus.


If running iOS 13 or earlier versions, check: Settings - Passwords & Accounts - Accounts - Any rogue entries here? If so, delete the rogue account. 


If running iOS 14, check: Settings - Calendar - Accounts - Any rogue entries here? If so, delete the rogue account.
