The message: "Your Phone Has (13) Serious Virus" is being used by cybercriminals to trick online users into believing their mobile devices or smartphones are infected with a virus that will damage their SIM cards, delete their contacts, photos, data, apps and other important information on their smart phones. Online users who fake see messages or advertisements claiming that their mobile devices are infected with viruses, or their mobile device's batteries are damaged, should not follow the instructions in them. They should just ignore the messages because they were created by rogue online marketers and cybercriminals, who use deceptive marketing strategies and scare tactics to frighten and trick online users into visiting their fraudulent websites, or downloading and installing their apps.
