There is a suspicious message on my iPhone.

good morning, I have an unusual problem. I'm afraid my phone has a virus. I don't know how to check it. I'm scared because there is a suspicious message on my phone. I bought the device from you because I thought it would be safe. I really care about safety. I trust you and I am waiting for your answer.

Your phone is not hacked and it does not have a virus unless you have left your phone with someone else for an hour or so and provided them with your Apple ID and Password.


If you saw a message indicating something like "A virus has been detected" on your phone, this is a scam that is trying to trick you into buying useless software or worse......providing some of your personal information.
