iPhone Scam?

[misswired]

First notification stated the iPhone was infected with 16 viruses.
Second said 13 viruses, third said infected with 12 viruses.

It gives instructions to click on an app.

This iPhone has zero apps installed..... period.
At least I'm rapidly losing viruses by doing nothing.

More than likely s scam. If you have any doubts visit an Apple store or provider and have them look.

Here are people complaining about the app, Secnet VPN, that it is trying to make you install: Negative Reviews: Secnet VPN - by FullUpdater LLC - Tools Category - 281 Reviews - AppGrooves: Get More Out of Life with iPhone & Android Apps. Point seems to be to defraud users of their money.

Should be reported to Apple.

Of course it's a scam. Ignore it.

Your iPhone does have apps on it, though. Unless you've made a conscious effort to delete them all, they're still there. It comes with some apps pre-installed right out of the box.

Scam Likely

The alarmist wording has all the earmarks of a scam.

If you use a flip phone, you're in. It helps if you like .38 Special revolvers.

Does the second qualification work? (I’ve been assimilated into the Apple collective for a while now...)
