safari on iPhone v8.4 frozen message from http://apple.com-luckywinner.com

There is a popup message in Safari on my iPhone 6plus v8.4 that has frozen Safari. Cannot delete web address or choose anything on bottom toolbar. Completely frozen. Only choice offered is to press OK. I am afraid this might be a virus and want to know how to get rid of this message. Or is this truly from Apple?

message:

It is a scam. Do not respond to such messages.

Double tap the Home button, then swipe upwards on the Safari preview.

Go to Settings - Safari - Clear History.

Restart Safwri.
