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?

Based upon my own experience, I'll suggest that you should never click on a link that cautions you. If I were you, I'd change all passwords to sites you frequent.
