Scam?

I just had a pop up saying my phon is infected with four viruses. There’s a link to steps to follow to fix. Scam?

Definitely a scam. All such messages are scams from criminals. Do not interact with the message or the sender. Close the offending page and avoid sites that are involved in such bogus advertising tactics.
