Message about infected files

In the Google Chrome Address bar I accidentally typed in Googoe.com instead of google, this took me to a page where it said that I had 7 infected files within my Android phone and that if this was not repaired it could have serious consequences to the phone, it then provided an option on the page to 'Repair Now' or some thing along the lines of that.

I was just wondering if this was an actual response from the android system or if this was just fake message from googoe. This was all within the web page so I'm guessing it was fake, but just asking to make sure!

I have done scans of my phone and so far nothing had picked up a virus of any kind, thanks in advance!

I have looked through my history and found the websites I was directed to.
Mymobicorp and androidsecurityplus, then some two websites that were redirecting me somewhere. After some searching around it was most likely just a flash image or something that popped up and it should be harmless... If the whole point was to get me to install their security app onto my phone, then I hope by clicking on their link it hasn't actually done anything to my phone since nothing was installed.
