virus pop up ios 10

I got a pop up which stating my iPhone is infected with multiple viruses. There is an orange A looking like the Apple App Store but the real one is blue. The URL IS MOBILEDEVSAFETY.COM. Is this just a ploy to buy the virus scanner. My understanding was that the iOS detected viruses except in rare cases e.g. The recent crybaby. Does anything need to be done. My device is operating fine
