Did the message include a link you followed and did you enter your AppleID and password? If so, someone was simply stealing your login credentials in order to remove activation lock on your device so they could use it themselves.


Apple will never send anyone a message their device has been found, for the simple reason Apple is not looking for it, tracking it, or even aware it is missing. Apple does not take reports of lost or stolen devices, and they do not track anyone’s device for them.
