I just had a pop up on my screen that said my phone was infected with 21 viruses from an adult site. I don’t visit adult sites. It said I had to click on the link to protect my phone. Sounds like a fake msg. Any suggestions

It's a scam. Nothing more. Delete and ignore.

You're welcome. 🙂

Essentially, any message, text or email you get making such a claim is a lie. Period. There's no method that allows someone to access your computer that easily from the outside. In other words, they cannot see what's on your drive, so how can they make such a claim?

Another that's going around (and has for a few years) is a message/email saying they have video of you doing or watching naughty things. But, oh! Send them xxxx amount of money to a Bitcoin account they give you and they'll make sure no one ever sees the video.

Also delete and ignore.
