Virus Detection Popup!!

I had a virus detection warning pop up apparently from Apple on my iPhone saying they had detected multiple virus's on my phone and asking me to install software to remove, has anyone had this or know whether it is fake or not?

iPhone 6, iOS 10.3.3

I kept getting a warning for virus but it was everytime I was using one of my police/firedept scanner apps. I deleted the app. Also for the first time I got an email saying I paid $30 thru my PayPal account with 3 $10 payments for google play. Of course I had not done that. And it said I had not given the merchant any instructions. I logged in and it wanted me to reverify ALL OF MY INFO AND OF COURSE I DID NOT DO THAT. I HAD ACCESSED MY EMAIL THRU MY PHONE SO I CLOSED THAT OUT GOT ON MY HOME COMPUTER VERIFIED THERE HAD BEEN NO ACTIVITY AND CHANGED PASSWORD AND TOOK OUT MY BANK INFO OUT. JUST WANTED TO SHARE THIS BECAUSE APPARENTLY THE SCAMERS WILL TRY ANYTHING. GOOD NIGHT. HOPE THIS HELPS SOMEONE. 😊
