Trojan Virus: Apple - Security Warning with a toll free number

Scam? MacOS re: Trojan Spyware message. How do I resolve this?

I had the same message repeat over and over and I actually called the number and realized that the person that answered wasn’t legit and hung up the phone. I deleted all of the security information from my iPad and checked out actual Apple support and found that others got the same fake message. My question is was any of my information breached while I was looking for Apple support?

All such messages are scams presented by criminals. Do not call the number. Do not interact with the message or the sender. Do not download anything based on such bogus messages. Close the offending page and avoid sites that are involved in such bogus advertising tactics.

One thing you can do is go to Safari's Website settings pane and do the following:

Unlikely. You would have had to give them access to your device.

Thank you
