Does Apple have pop up phishing/ malware notices for Safari on iPad?

Does Apple have pop up phishing/ malware notices ? I was just looking something up on safari and a notice popped up ; had Apple care logo and the top banner looked legit ; I didn’t hit the start scan button but very good misrepresentation of legit notice

That’s a scam.

Websites cannot scan your device contents. That’d be a complete and total catastrophe.
