Text message regarding lost phone from ‘Apple security’ I received number of texts today from this email address, I have lost an iPhone 7 as it asking when I went to Tenerife last year but I wiped the phone using find my iPhone and removed it from my Apple ID yet I’ve got this message. I’m not sure if it’s a scam but I’ve replied asking who it was and blocked the contact and I’m worried incase my phone gets hacked. Anyone know if this is real?

Lost iPhone scam: received SMS that my phone has been found received an SMS that phone has been found. Turns out it was someone who was trying to reactive my stolen iPhone. Question 1: how would they get my phone number. Being excited that my phone has been found and being on another call, i simply obliged, clicked on the link and even though it looked different, i entered my icloud user name and password. It took me to a google maps page and showed location of my phone. Only later I realised i have been duped. I also noticed that my lost phone has now disappeared from my iCloud account. Question 2: is there anyway to trace this phone using IMEI number? QUestion 3: without knowing my iPhone screen lock password, how would this fraudster be able to login to my iCloud - because i have two step verification.
