Unless you jailbroke your phone, your phone isn't hacked or infected with anything. These are what are called Phishing Scam messages, intended to scare you into buying software or services for viruses you don't have on a phone which can't get them to begin with.


Delete the messages. Never click to open them. AND NEVER NEVER NEVER give them any information.
