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.

Just had something similar happen. I received a pop-up message informing me that my computer had been hacked, don’t shut it down or click onto any windows, and call “Apple” at the provided number (1-8888-610-5017); which I did, then I hung up when person told me to go to anydesk.com. I shut down my computer and am looking into how to power-up safely, following this incident.
