If the popups are coming from the calendar app, try this: Delete spam calendars and events on iPhone - Apple Support


Or if they are appearing in Safari: Clear the history and cookies from Safari on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support

This is a public forum; anyone on the Internet can read what you post, even if they don’t have an Apple account. That’s about 6 billion people. So it’s not a good place to post any personal information such as a phone number. I’ve asked the hosts to mask it.
