The message is not from Apple, although it might appear to be. Apple will never send a message like this.


Your phone is fine.


This is a common scam message that it trying to trick or scare you into buying software that will do nothing to help your phone......but it will help to line the pockets of the low life people trying to sell this junk.


In addition, the scammers will now have your credit card information if you fall for this.


Ignore and delete the message. Do the same for any other messages like this that you might see.
