Sounds like an attempt at phishing to me. From: [email protected] <[email protected]> On Behalf Of Dan Sent: Friday, 8 January 2021 2:02 am To: 'cwc' via VIPhone <[email protected]> Subject: virus alert on my SE 2020
Hi all, I saw something last evening that i have never seen before. I suspect it was a scam thing but thought I should ask if anyone else has seen this or not. I was looking at a news app I use for our local news and weather. While doing so something popped up that said 3 viruses had been detected by apple and I should install the below app to clean my phone. I looked at the rest of the screen and then went to the app store and couldn't find that app in the store. I think this was a scam but have any of you seen anything like this before? Is it legit? Now that it is gone if it is legit how do I now find the right app to clean my phone? I looked in the app store and every AV app I could find just talked about wifi and external sources not cleaning my phone itself. Thanks for any help. -- Dan Beaver (KA4DAN) -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.
