My friend's phone was stolen and I received a message on my phone after blocking with a tracking link which may belong to an Apple, after which I entered his iCloud credentials and his phone disappeared from the list of blocked devices. Could this be a fake website or Apple's vulnerability and can I block my phone by box and payment receipt?

You were conned. That was a phishing message sent by the thief who has the phone.
You need to change your iCloud account password immediately!
Apple does not send notifications like that at all.

Yes, I realized that, but it looks like the domain of this site belongs to Apple.

Your fault. You basically gave them the necessary information to remove the device from Find my iPhone and Activation Lock.
It doesn’t matter if the mail came from icloud.com or apple.com, because that can be faked easily. You will never see that phone again. Change all Apple ID passwords immediately. Seriously, do it now.
Stolen IPhone 8, fake or Apple's vulnerability
