Real or Fake text from Apple?

I recently had my phone stolen in Spain - I am now receiving these texts from “Apple” - Are they genuine?

Fake. Those messages are from someone that has your phone, and attempting to steal your Apple ID and password.

You may see a similar type message from "Police". That's another favorite among the bad guys (and girls).
