I am getting a flash across my screen saying memory is getting full. But a cleaner. I ignored it because it is not full. I checked my storage.
Now, it is flashing saying I have viruses on my iPhone and it will shut down if I do not cleaned up. Is this nothing but a scam. I play a word scramble game online for years. I do not open weird email or websites. Please help. Thanks!

Scam.

"Tech support scammers may try to trick you with a pop-up window that appears on your computer screen. It might look like an error message from your operating system or antivirus software, and it might use logos from trusted companies or websites. The message in the window warns you about a security issue on your computer and tells you to call a phone number to get help."
Yes, it is a scam. It is a ridiculous form of advertising presented by some, less than honest game developers.
Thank you, I appreciate you replying to me and your honesty!
