Thank you, I will do that. My other concern is how it happened in the first place, the iPhone has always been so reliable. I used to have an android many years ago, I loved it but it crashed and I couldn't rely on it. The iPhone has never let me down. If you have any ideas to keep my phone more secure I'd appreciate any advice. Thank you again.

You're welcome. The process should be the same or similar for Chrome. I don't use Chrome, so can't speak as to specifics, but the goal is to Force Quit the browser and then clear the history, so it will not try to go to the same bogus site when your browser is re-opened.

You're welcome. The popup messages you saw, in no way indicates an issue with the phone. Unfortunately, there will always be scammers that will try to trick innocent folks into divulging their personal or financial information. The main thing to remember is that any such message, whether it is telling you have won a gazillion dollars, or telling you your computer is infected, they will always be a scam, always.

Thank you, but I forgot to mention it was in Chrome not Safari. Should I not be using Chrome? I can't remember why but I have been using Chrome now and then for some time now.

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

Go to: Settings - Safari - Clear History.

Restart Safari.
