Could be a false positive. What’s your phone?All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well.

If your phone has it, enable "notification history" and you may see which app is generating the pop up.
Have you installed any apps from anywhere other than the Google Play Store ?
Go through your apps and uninstall any you do not use.0 -
It's a spam message. Find out which app it is coming from and uninstall it
