My phone was lost or stolen two months ago in France. Today I received 2 texts ten minutes apart. One was to see where it had been found and the second that said someone had tried to reset my password. Two different links were there for me to use. I didn't as I don't think these are true links to Apple Support. Any help?

No matter what it says, Apple does not ever send such messages. Those were sent by the thief. They hope you'll give them your user ID and password so they can release your account from the phone and erase it as new.

Congratulations on being alert to this scam! You may get a text or email from “Apple” or “Apple Security” (or sometimes “Police”) saying your phone has been found and to click on a link to see its location. This is NEVER from Apple or from law enforcement; it is from the thief or fence to steal your Apple ID and identity. Delete any such message without responding to it. Apple never gets involved in lost or stolen devices→Avoid phishing emails, fake ‘virus‘ alerts, phony support calls, and other scams
Thank you for your answer, very helpful. I have deleted the texts.
