I fell for a phishing attack 7 days ago and clicked on an embedded link sent me to YouTube, I which point I realized my mistake. This was on my iPhone 6. The message was from Apple Inc and was about a purchase I made, which I did not. I was asked to click if I did not make the purchase. I clicked and there.

Has anybody experience this? Any tips on how I can eliminate this vulnerability. Any references where I can read about resolving this? Would resetting the phone to factory settings help?
 
After you clicked were you requested to give any of your details?
 
As long as you didn't provide any financial details or account details you should be safe. If you get such a message again, report it to Apple, as they take a very dim view of scammers using their name to steal form the public. After reporting the phishing attack to Apple delete it.
