My new phone popped up with a warning box when I clicked on it saying something about this may bee fishing or a scam and basically click at your own discretion. I clicked it. It opened up what looked like a youtube video of a plane landing horribly- like the person had no idea what they were doing. I saw the word "virus" in dark green letters and freaked out. I grabbed my keys and drove over to the store that I bought my new phone a week ago. Told the guy that I think there's a virus on my new phone and would he please check it. Well he looked at my phone for a couple minutes opening and closing various buttons then handed it back saying he couldn't find anything. I left, sure that a virus was still actually in my phone and the next time I log into my bank account someone was going to steal all my money. Am I going crazy from living alone and "thinking too much" or is someone really out to get me?
Im sorry this happened.. You got it checked out so try to not stress. Is it possible you can go to the bank tomorrow and change your password? Might be reassuring.
