Anyone else get a virus warning on their phone?

in #virus6 years ago

After some early morning crypto reading visiting one of my many sources for cypto news I encountered the following error message.

unfortunately I didn't manage to screengrab the best error message which was even funnier as it said I had 6 viruses from visiting adult websites lol! This phone is not used for anything like that so was a bit ridiculous the error messages where very good if not for the false assumption.

Also told me that my phone was 45% damaged and that I should install an anti virus scanner, for the record it is a throw away phone as that was my philosophy for mobile communication now I'm thinking I should spend a bit more as not having an adblocker or having room for one is a bit annoying as I never see these type of messages on my laptop.

Kudos for the screens though looked very convincing but android is malware to begin with as google routinely collects more data than they should hence why I like to throw them away now and again.

Stay safe people!!!
