Fraudulent “lost iPhone” phishing text with accurate phone details

I received a text saying that my “lost iPhone” was found, and it included my exact model, storage capacity, and color. That was followed by a link which would supposedly show me the last location of my phone (https://find my-mapconnect.com/vmG). It was signed Find My iPhone Support, followed by the Apple logo. The text came from the 831 Area Code. Is there a relatively easily accessible database that would show the details of my iPhone? Anyone else ever received such a phishing text? TIA!

iPhone 11 Pro Max, iOS 15

That is indeed phishing. The only way to track and recover your iPhone is with Find My (the real website, not the fake one). If you had Find My on, see here - If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch is lost or stolen - Apple Support


Otherwise, these are your only options - If Find My iPhone or Find My iPad isn't enabled on your missing device - Apple Support
