Find my iphone service

Dear sir or madam ,

Last week on June 29th , my iphone was stolen . I had turned find my iphone on before that . Now that I check in my other device , find my iphone is off and I also got an sms from apple today morning that I will send the screenshot attached to this query. I want to know if this sms is original and from apple or not and also I want to know why my find iphone is off now in my stolen device . I think it shouldn’t be off . I am really worried about my information and data . I changed my Apple ID password too.

It is probably the thieves trying to get you to provide your username and password so they can remove the lock on your phone. Apple does not actively participate in device recovery. Any recovery is done purely by you using the Find My service.
