Hello,
This is very likely a scam pop up.
Recognize and avoid phishing messages, phony support calls, and other scams - Apple Support
"If your web browser displays annoying pop-ups
While browsing the web, if you see a pop-up or alert that offers you a free prize or warns you about security problems or viruses on your device, don't believe it. These types of pop-ups are usually fraudulent advertisements, designed to trick you into downloading damaging software or giving the scammer personal information or money.
Don't call the number or follow the links to claim the prize or fix the problem. Ignore the message and simply navigate away from the page or close the entire window or tab."

"Block pop-ups
Go to Settings > Safari, then turn on Block Pop-ups."
I hope this helps.

It is a Scam:
What you are reporting is a scam. So, report it to Apple and modify your credentials.

Did you Interact with it?
If you did not interact with the messages, then you can ignore it. If you did (i.e. Provide personal info), then you may need to take thinks a step further.
Modifying your Credentials:
Having so much suspicion, consider modifying your credentials, ASAP, starting with a new password.
