I received a Message from "Apple" that my iPhone was being hacked.

I have an IPhone 12 and I recently got a message supposedly from Apple that my IPhone was being scammed and that I had 2 minutes to choose an option to save it.

I think that this message was not from Apple.

Can someone assist me?

All such messages are scams presented by criminals. Do not interact with the message. Never download anything based on such messages. Close the offending page and avoid sites that are involved in such bogus advertising tactics.

I got a response from someone in the Apple Support Community that I don’t

understand.

I will repeat my problem: The other nite I got a message on my IPhone 12 saying that I was being hacked or scammed and that I had 2 minutes to choose an option to protect my IPhone. It was supposedly from Apple, but I didn’t trust it . I called Apple support on the phone, but they were already closed. Today I got a similar warning from Google. Please someone help me with this!!!!!!!!!!
