Those texts are usually scams. Neither Apple nor law enforcement will send such a text.

If it asked you to sign in with your AppleID and password then you just allowed the finder to take off the Activation lock.

If that is what you did then

  1. Change your AppleID password while you can
  2. Accept your phone is gone forever.
