Anti-virus programs are largely a waste of time on an iPhone. IOS is locked down tight, which would prevent a “virus” from spreading itself to other apps, and prevent an “anti-virus” app from disinfecting any, if there were any to be found.

The thing is I think I gave him my model number and serial number . Now I’ve gotten 4 more dropped calls since I posted this thread. My phone is up to date with latest software wear update . I do have anti virus protection on here as well. ( shows no threats ) I’m still shook though.
