Is this really an alert from Apple?

Hello,

I just received an alert from Was this really an alert from Apple? It was something 17? I think it was program 17 from Apple? It said hackers have been tracking me and I had two minutes to proceed to Apple otherwise all of my contacts and browsing history would be released? I was in Duck Duck Go browser ( which needs my fingerprint ID to open) and it kept asking me to open it in another app to proceed, and I kept hitting CANCEL. I think this must have their little game? ( I hope it did …😑) Here I am standing! It said I would have to use a program from Apple to fix my phone immediately! The third time I hit cancel another site popped up? A black page advertising an iOS app called Alerty? It's clearly fake! The page is cut off. I can't find any info on Alerty? I have screenshots! How do I rid my phone of these hackers? I have a VPN and a virus scanner!

Thanks for your help!
