Message from ATT on iphone

Phone received message from 1-909-737-9886 saying we will lock your device -please clear spam messages -scan now then wants me to order a monthly payment for virus scans. Why would someone lock my phone if I don’t order their product which I can’t afford.

Text message or voice mail message?

Doesn't really matter.....spam text messages and spam voice mail messages are running rampant. 

Don't try to make sense out of nonsense.  Ignore and delete.

The call was not from ATT. It was a scam call. No one is going to lock your phone.

That sounds like a classic Text message scam that's been reported before.
