Windows 10: Your Phone - Cannot Delete phishing message

A phishing message " you are owed a refund" appeared in my Your Phone app. There is no corresponding message on my phone so I cannot delete it.


I have uninstalled and reinstalled "Your Phone" and both devices, my tablet and my Android phone. After syncing, the message reappears.


How do I get rid of this message?


Thanks for your help,


Brian
