No !!!


It’s a too-common scam where you’ll typically be asked to “verify” yourself; handing-over the “keys” to your iPhone and AppleID to the criminals in the process.


The ONLY communication you should ever receive from a legitimate “finder” would be via the contact means you provided on your phone’s screen when placing it in “Lost Mode.”

Apple does not get involved with lost or stolen phones, so you know automatically that any "message" from "Apple" about your phone is going to be a scam that that is trying to trick you into revealing personal information. Apple will never send a message like this.


Delete the message and the others that you will receive in the future.
