I am willing to bet that it is a scam to get money or your credentials out of you. It is extremely difficult, almost impossible, for your iPhone to get a virus. This is because of Apple's closed environment infrastructure. The one exception is that if your iPhone is jailbroken and that point all security is lost and your iPhone can get a virus.
