I kind of had a similar situation. I was on the iMore website
checking the news and I opened Safari there was a popup that said your iPod
touch is 28% damaged by a virus. I don’t remember exactly what it said.

Subject: Re: Trojan virus
This sounds like a total scam. If it were from Apple, you would be taken to the
App Store, not a web site. But in all cases like this, call Apple. It is the
only way to be absolutely certain, but I'm 99 percent sure this is a phishing
attempt that would end very badly.
Apple also wants to know about these kinds of attempts, so please call them.
You can call Apple Accessibility to get through to a human more directly.
