As others have clearly stated, what you are seeing is a typical scam. Here are Apple documents with reference to that:

Without exception, all messages or emails or pop-ups telling you that you have a virus or viruses are scams, desivned to suck you into pahying for expensive and useless software, or as a phishing attempt to steal your data. No-one can detect remotely whether you have a virus, and as stedman1 has said you don't have one anyway - as long as you haven't done something silly like jailbreaking your phone or downloading dubious itemd from even more dubious websites, you won't get one.


General rule: neveri follow links or ring telephone numbers in unexpected emails, no matter who they appear to come from.
