Did you provide the information to the link they provided in the text you received? If you did, they have already wiped the phone and more than likely sold it to someone else. With the Apple ID and Apple ID Password, the phone can be wiped completely, without knowing the passcode. And the Apple ID and Passcode or having you remove the device from your list of trusted devices is what they want you to do. Once either has been done, the phone can be wiped.

iPhone canNOT be tracked by serial number. Apple didn't text you anything. You were scammed and this happens a lot.


Here's an article about this: https://blog.knowbe4.com/scam-of-the-week-your-stolen-iphone-has-been-found


No point in writing me back. There's nothing anyone here or at Apple can do for you. Your phone is gone and that's that.


If the police are helping you that's great and I hope they are successful, but most of the time they can't do anything.

Why do you think I asked you about a text? We see it all the time!

Guessing there was no PIN lock in the SIM (your responsibility). They take out the SIM, put it in another phone, Call their friend. Hey presto they know your number.

Leave it a week for you to get a replacement then text you with a number spoofed as “Apple”

All because you could not be bothered to PIN lock your SIM
