Hello,


You can log into find my iPhone on iCloud.com. There in ‘Find My”, lock your iPhone and locate it; this is all depending on your model, set preferences, and software. You could also do this with the aid of a friend or family’s iPad, iPhone, or Mac. Apple stores could also allow you to access these functions there. I would recommend not posting your serial numbers or any data in this forum. I could cause a problem in the future. Hope I could help point you in the right direction!

Beware of a common phishing 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
