recently I am getting messages that my iPhone 12 mini has been infected with two viruses and that I need to go to the App Store and download an antivirus app. Is this legit?

Thank you for your quick reply. The messages show up at times when I open up an email through Xfinity. I will not download any antiviral app from the App Store at this time.
