Has anyone else gotten this message before?
Got it this morning. Not even sure how moisture got in there, i haven't had my phone neslar any liquids especially the charging port. I can try to blow air into the port, but not sure about moisture.. 
Does anyone know of a good way to clean and dry it out?

That's a pretty standard warning. Have you tried cleaning out your USB port and maybe sticking a fan next to it to dry it out and see if that works?

Not yet. It just happened before i left this morning. Also the only one i have is a ceiling fan; so don't think that would be very effective. I might have a handheld one but will have to check.
It's so idd though, as far as i know i haven't gotten any liquids near the port.

High humidity is also known to be a cause.

It may not be moisture, it may be dust or pocket lint.  If you live in a humid environment or it has been very humid lately, it could be microscopic drops of moisture. Clean out and dry out the port, then invest in some port plugs and keep them in when not charging.  They are very cheap.

Amazon has them. These have loss prevention lanyards.

There are others without the rope, but they are so easy to lose or forget to put back in.
