Received “corruption” message

I received a message from an unknown source that my iPhone browser was corrupted this morning. But how do I know the message came from a trusted source and how/what do I check to confirm?

iPhone XR, iOS 14

It’s a scam. There is no remote means for anyone to know if your browser has any issues of any kind.

Does your browser work fine? If so, it’s data or cache is not corrupted

Thank you. I thought it might be spam, so I didn’t respond to it. It’s nuts how “official” the spammers can make it look.
