I got a notification saying some one logged in to my lost iPhone

hello all,

I need some help on what I should do. I recently lost my phone at EDC LV which was about 1 month ago. I think someone pick pocketd my phone which had my cards and license in it. I had find my iPhone on but the person must’ve taken the SIM card out or something bc it showed offline. Now a month later, I got a notification saying some one logged in from some part of China at 3:02 am.. so obviously I’m not going all the way to China.. what do I do ?

The notification is a phishing attempt. Do NOT follow any links in the message you got. They're trying to con you into giving up your iCloud credentials so they can remove the activation lock from the device. If you've already done so, you need to change your iCloud password immediately.

You're never going to see that phone again.

Any such notifications are generally the theft attempting to phish for your personal information so that they can break into your iPhone. My suggestion is to delete it.
