It's a scam. No-one can remotely detect if you have a virus (and on an iPhone you don't as long as you haven't jailbroken it).


Without exception, all messages of any type saying you have a virus, or your Apple ID has or will be locked, or your account has been compormised, are scams. Never respond to them or follow any links.
