Is it possible for a scammer to access your phone or see your screen by asking you to switch to speaker?

I recently had to activate my hulu account, and neglected to check the URL when I clicked a activate site (webart.com). I was asked to call a number (1.848.310.2088). The operator / scammer asked me to switch to speaker and then apparently could see my screen. He could follow my swiping and knew which apps I had. I had not downloaded any additional apps. He later wanted me to down an app called anydesk. I hung up, but am concerned that my phone has been hacked.

the link itself might have been their access point. no idea after the fact but you might opt to factory reset your device to purge anything that shouldnt be in there as well as changing all your primary passwords to the more important things like your bank etc.

***I like many others come onto this site for assistance and to help others. Marking a reply as helpful or correct helps others with like issues when they try to search the site for assistance. I do not work for Tmobile and my suggestions and or opinions are my own**.~~~~ The site here is primarily peer to peer with some TMO moderation to keep the site in order..They do not have account access..The prefered method would be to contact TMO through either calling in (tier 1 support) or by contacting them through either Facebook/Twitter (tier 2 support)**~~~~
