Apple does not send such messages. A message appearing as am SMS will be from someone that has your phone. They are attempting to obtain your Apple ID and password.

Lost iPhone was “found” and claimed to have all my info from a 616 number. My iPhone as lost in January and input as lost. Every time I go to look at the lost my iPhone it’s out of lost mode. Then I noticed it says it’s in China so I requested an erase. Fast forward to May and I received all of these weird text messages. Asking if I sold or traded my phone and forgot to log out. That they have access to all of m photos (40k) and passwords and financial info etc etc. and are going to sell on black web to criminals.
