Phishing

My mom got a text message that her stolen Iphone was found and she clicked in a link to "verify" if it was hers. When it was too late we realized it was a scam to get her Iphone out of Find My. Is there a way to reverse it? or is there a way to get the Iphone back to the account of Find My?

Phone stolen, then the crooks dislodged icloud from text message phishing Was mugged on the street, and the crooks stole my iPhone. On ICloud marked the phone lost, but looks like the crooks sent me a phishing text disguised as apple reporting the phone was found and dislodged my ICloud and removed the phone. Any way to report the phone in a system so that the crooks can't use it?

Got a message from Findmy saying my iphone is online I just searched and saw the answer that it’s a fraud, unfortunately, I have typed in my phone and iCloud password. I have just changed my iCloud password and I realised that FindMy on that iPhone had been turned off, but I can still see the device on my iCloud account. What should I do next? Should I remove the phone from my account? I am concerned that they have got all my private information on my stolen phone

iPhone stolen and screen lock pin compromised, what they can do? Hello, my partner's iPhone 12 was stolen 15 days ago. She set it as "Lost" into the Find My application, made a police report and reported to the telephone company. She did not request a "Device data deletion" on the Find My application. Yesterday my partner received a phishing sms asking for her screen lock pin and she introduced it :/ Immediately the device doesn't show anymore into the Find My application. She has changed the passwords for all delicate apps: mail, instagram, paypal, icloud.. We are worried that now the thieves can access to personal information as SMS or pictures. Is this true? What do they can do? So we can be ready Can the police or Apple do something to block this phone? Thanks for the support

No, unless you recover it through another method. Tell her to change her Apple ID password if she hasn't already.
