While scrolling to the top of a page, my finger must have stayed too long on an ad next to the right side of the screen. Immediately a pop up came up, allegedly from Apple Security indicating that my iPad had been infected with a Trojan horse spyware, and I should call Apple immediately. They gave an 800 number allegedly for Apple Security. I assume this is a scam. Anyone else have this happen?
iPad Air, iPadOS 16

Yes, that is a scam. It's common in websites that don't filter their ads. You can close it and safely ignore it.
Always happy to help! Stay safe.
