Scammed and Bank Wants me to run a Virus Scan on my iPhone?

Hello - I had a scammer attempt to access funds from my online banking. I have done a Virus Scan on my Mac Book BUT the bank wants me to do Virus Scan on my iPhone?????


my IOS is up to date - just Installed latest! I have gone through all the security options etc.


how do I make sure the scammer doesn’t have access to my phone details etc?


how do I clean my phone from Viruses, to the banks satisfaction?


thanks

Tell the bank that the first virus on an iOS device has yet to be found. It's hard to look for something that does not exist.
