Notify the police.

Sep 20, 2015 4:24 PM in response to wolverines26by kversace,do not fall for this, I did...
My iPhone was stolen and I had turned on the "contact me when found" then I received a very similar sms (I had imported my number to another iPhone). I didn't realize that it was a phishing attempt, clicked on it and entered my apple Id and Password. Immediately after this (almost instantaneously) I could no longer see my stolen iPhone on the Found my iPhone devices.
DO NOT FALL FOR THIS... you can talk to apple support, they are very helpful (I wish I had known this ahead of time and I wish I had contacted Apple).

Jan 12, 2016 8:41 AM in response to Neon Maby ChrisJ4203,As indicated by others, this is a scam. Unless your device gets connected to the internet, you will not be able to locate your phone with Find My iPhone. Ignore the messages. That is not Apple or iCloud support, and actually neither is this. This is a user to user support forum hosted by Apple.

Mar 26, 2016 11:35 AM in response to kversaceby dvizz87,I fell for this (very stupidly) and I can see my phone was just removed from my find my iphone. Is there anything else I can do to prevent them from accessing anything in there? Are they able to access all of my pictures?

They probably don't really care about your data or photos. They have a perfectly usable iPhone they can sell or keep and use for themselves now.
