Malware popup after Reddit link was a scam

A reddit report about a romance scam that cost someone Amount not specified. Learn how to avoid falling victim.

Clicked on a link showing a Stardew Farm on Reddit (classic) and got a pop-up saying that I've been exposed to critical malware. Now I keep getting notifications from Chrome on my phone saying that my account is being breached and that transactions are being made. When I click on them, it takes me to the site on the first photo, and when I click on anything else on that site it just leads me to the second photo, which made me originally feel like it was a scam. Just wanted to make sure because either way something is on my phone and wanted advice on how to move forward from there. Note that I checked my accounts and there hasn't been any transactions. Any help would be lovely!
