Stolen iPhone

My iPhone was stolen 2 weeks ago. I received this message below:


Apple inc,

Your lost IPHONE 5S 16GB GOLD has been located today at 09:55.

Check location at https://www.icloud.com-ilogin.support/?l=1b73e9

i clicked on the link and logged in. Now I can no longer view my lost phones on Find Your iPhone. Does anyone know if this is a scam ? And how to fix the Find Your iPhone app, so I can view the stolen phones location.

MacBook Air (2018 or later)

You have been scammed.

That was a phishing message. You gave the thief your iCloud ID and password.

Change your password NOW.

Then turn on 2 factor authentication.


You will never see your phone again. The thief has removed the activation lock using your credentials.
