When you responded to the phishing text, that gave access to your Apple ID. They can use that to remove activation lock on the phone but they can't access the data on the phone unless you also gave them the phone lock screen passcode. However they may be able to access any data that you have on www.icloud.com

You should immediately change your Apple ID password, if still possible. See: Change your Apple ID password - Apple Support
