iPhone 6 message received

a message appeared on my iPhone 6 while browsing for information to install a product I purchased.

Message: AppStore:

Important notice

Your device is currently infected with a Trojan virus! Then 5 lines text followed by an instruction: Immediately install the trusted FREE app from the AppStore to remove virus and secure your device.

Do I have a problem or scam?.

How do I handle this and get rid of the message?

iPhone 6, iOS 12

Hello buy.george,


I appreciate you taking the time to research the answer. It's 100% a scam. You can just ignore it.


If you notice it continues to popup, just clear your Safari browser history.
