Your phone was not hacked. But on any scam site don’t click ANYTHING. All buttons are lies, and will take you to the scam site. See→Avoid phishing emails, fake ‘virus‘ alerts, phony support calls, and other scams

Spammers are not necessarily hackers or even interested in hacking. Mostly, spammers want to try to get you to buy something. In the case of the ad you’ve described, they’re trying to get you to buy anti-virus software you don’t actually need.


Nothing bad will happen to you just because you got spam. Or because you clicked on an ad.


Personally, I would not waste the time and effort restoring your phone. There is no reason to do so and you may actually lose data doing it.
