I received a message from Apple telling me that my iphone 7SE has been hacked. I have a 3 day free trial of a security App to fix the hack. I will then pay £9.99 per month automatically deducted from my a/c with the option to cancel.
iPhone SE, iOS 17

The message was definitely not from Apple.
Your phone has not been hacked.
Cancel the useless subscription, and delete the bogus app.
Your phone has not been hacked, and the message most definitely was not from Apple.
If the people associated with this "security app" are behind this message, it would be entirely appropriate for Apple to pull their apps from the App Store, and ban them from selling their apps there.
You're welcome.
