Hi, Sounds like you came across, and almost fell into, a scam. The number is fake, and belongs to someone doing no good. The website you accidentally went to is also more than likely fake. To fix this, go to Settings/Safari, and under the General heading, click the button that says, “Clear History and website Data.” This will delete the browser cache and cookies, and maybe some other things I may have missed. This will fix it, and when you open Safari again, it will work normally. It is highly unlikely you have a virus on your phone, I think it > may be a good idea to block that number, however to be on the safe side.
