FMIP - i received a text supposedly from Apple Support

FMIP - I received a text supposedly from Apple Support that my iPhone has been found. Sends a link to sign in to my apple ID. I did not sign in, curious if this is legit. I already bought a new phone, but I really want the pictures back that my icloud didn't store :( #hopefulitsreal

iPhone XS

It is a scam as stedman1 says.
