Random text regarding my lost iPhone

I recently had my phone stolen/lost about 2 weeks ago. I got a new one and marked the old one as lost on find my iPhone. Today I received these random texts and I am worried that someone is going to get into it and access my photos. I typed the “link” in the text but no actual page shows up. On find my iPhone the phone is still showing offline. Are these texts legit? Should I be worried? I have no idea how I would get these texts regarding my lost iPhone in the first place.

Apple wouldn't send you a text, look at the address it is coming from... This a scam to get you to log into your icloud account via the link they posted, hopefully you didn't do it.

Because you didn't have a PIN on your SIM the first thing the thief did is take out the SIM and discover your number before you had chance to cancel it.

You going to apply a SIM lock this time?

Settings, Cellular or Mobile Data, SIM PIN

That’s what I thought, thank you! I didn’t log into my icloud anywhere or respond to that text. They keep texting me saying it’s logged into my iCloud. How can I confirm if they actually logged in or not?

The confirmation is you not clicking on the link and entering your credentials.
