Message popped up on my iPhone 13 Pro max saying my phone is severely damaged by viruses

Just got a little message popped up on my iPhone 13 Promax saying my phone is severely damaged by viruses, soon my SIM card will be corrupt and it will damage my contact, photos, etc.

It is not a iMessage it popped up in the middle of the phone screen. Does anyone know what this is?


thank you
