Is this a scam?

My phone was stolen a few weeks ago and I got this text message from


“noreply@a***e.co”


”Apple Support 

Scam! If you reply, they will ask for your credentials, thus allowing them entry to your stolen phone.

Apple does not get involved with lost or stolen phones, so you know that the message was not from Apple.


This is a scam that is trying to trick you into providing personal details so the bad buys....and girls....can get into your phone.


Ignore and delete the message. Expect more messages, including threats. Ignore and delete them.


You won't ever see the phone again, but at least you can frustrate the bad people by keeping the phone unusable to them.
