My daughter had this pop up on her phone. It seems like a scam, but she’s concerned.

Anyone seen this?

Obviously false. Say I, the stranger on the internet. One could have just asked Apple but I’m delighted to have a say.
 
I get messages similar to this from time to time, especially when I'm on some random fan wiki type of site. I just close the tab.
 
The English syntax and grammar are also giveaways.

"is already having", "AppStore", "otherwise, the device".

Scam.
 
Definitely a scam. It it happens again forward a screenshot to Apple. They probably wouldn’t like that!
