I received a pop up stating my iPhone has been compromised by 13 Trojan viruses

Can this happen to a iPhone to be infected? I never visit compromised sites

Your phone cannot get a virus from any source. However, scam alerts that your phone has a virus can appear several ways; from visiting sketchy web sites, from apps that don’t vet their ads well, as email, texts, and as calendars. Some sites trick you into installing a spam calendar by offering you something for free. That’s why deggie asked if it was in a calendar, because there are specific instructions for removing spam calendars.
