Requesting password.

I received an email Saying I I lost one of my old iPhones about a week ago. And i may have an idea who has it. Does receiving this email mean that someone turned the phone on and tried getting into it?

Looks like an email trying to get your password so they can access the phone.

So did someone turn that phone on and try to get into it? Is that why the email was generated?
