RE: virus alert on my SE 2020
Sounds like an attempt at phishing to me. From: viphone@googlegroups.com On Behalf Of Dan Sent: Friday, 8 January 2021 2:02 am To: 'cwc' via VIPhone 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.

Re: virus alert on my SE 2020
It absolutely was a scam. I'd suggest avoiding that news site as the site has been compromised. If you are not sure, call Apple accessibility, 877-204-3930. Richard "You know," said Arthur, "it's at times like this, when I'm trapped in a Vogon airlock with a man from Betelgeuse, and about to die of asphyxiation in deep space, that I really wish I'd listened to what my mother told me when I was young." "Why, what did she tell you?" "I don't know, I didn't listen." -- Douglas Adams, The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy > On Jan 7, 2021, at 5:03 AM, Joshua Hendrickson wrote: > > If you couldn't find that app that was mentioned in the app store, > then it probably was a scam thing. > >> On 1/7/21, Dan wrote: >> Hi all, >> >> >> I saw something last evening that i have never seen before.

If you couldn't find that app that was mentioned in the app store, then it probably was a scam thing. On 1/7/21, Dan wrote: > Hi all, > > > I saw something last evening that i have never seen before.

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?
