Should I reply to Find My(noreply@email.apple.com )?

Recently(10/07) I lost my iPhone X, I put the status in lost mode.

Last day(10/10) I received mail from Find My( noreply@email.apple.com ) where is the subject is BJIT iPhoneX has been found.

At the same time I am getting the same SMS on my mobile, where I used to get verification code from apple.

Did I receive a fake “Find My iPhone” SMS through Apple’s official messaging channel? Hi everyone, I recently experienced something very strange and concerning. I received an SMS message that appeared to come from the same trusted channel Apple normally uses to send verification codes and OTPs. The message said my lost iPhone was located and included a link to view the location. Surprisingly, when I opened the link, it didn’t lead to a suspicious or clearly fake page. Instead, it showed a location map — which made it look even more legitimate and convincing. That’s what made me fall for it. Unfortunately, it turned out to be a phishing page designed to steal my iCloud credentials. What’s confusing is that the message looked exactly like the real Apple messages I’ve received before — same format, same sender channel. So I wanted to ask: Has anyone else experienced something similar? Is it even technically possible for a scam message to be delivered via Apple’s own SMS channel? Could this indicate a breach or vulnerability in Apple’s messaging infrastructure? Thy told me it must be the network operator’s problem but when I contacted the operator they officially affirmed that’s not gonna happen, they’re just courier , and how could the thief knows my number to use , it was an E-sim , and the lost mode was activated with a family member number!! Would really appreciate any insights or shared experiences. [Re-Titled by Moderator] Original Title: Is it possible to receive a fake “Find My iPhone” SMS through Apple’s official messaging channel?

Apple does not send such messages. The email and SMS are from someone that has your phone, and they are attempting to obtain your Apple ID and password.

It's not from Apple. (Easily discovered by the link provided, it's not apple.com).
