something from apple came up on my phone saying i had a virus and told me download something to remove them called defense ray is it a legit app has anyone ever gotten that?

I had something come up on my old iPhone 12 saying that I had a virus on my phone and that I had to download something called defense ray to get rid of them does anyone know by chance if that is a legit app it also doubles as an ad blocker (my phone has not been jailbroken)

iPhone 13 Pro Max, iOS 16
