Be very careful. It is a common scam to send a message and if you use a link in the message to respond and log into a site that appears to be Apple, that will divulge your Apple ID and password.

Most likely it is a scam message. Where did it come from? Apple does not get involved with lost or stolen phones. Do not disclose any personal information.
