I had an iphone stolen overseas, and I got a text saying it was found.

I had my iPhone XS stolen overseas in April. I got a text today saying my lost iPhone was found, but it seems super weird, as I disconnected my apple ID from that phone the same day it was stolen.

The message came from a UK number:

Your lost iPhone XS 256 GB Gold has been detected online.

Seems pretty phishy to me but I wanted to make sure. I don't want my old stolen phone out there in the world still connected to me.

Your assumption is correct, don't click on any link and enter your information.

You're getting scammed to enter your info.
