Stolen phone Icloud sms

My phone was also stolen, I had set up a message to whoever has the phone and I guess when they seen it they tried getting into my icloud and I received an sms saying


”Your lost Iphone has been retained click link to verify”


wich I did and ended up receiving a new sms saying


”Now you can locate your lost Iphone even without internet connection” and sent me another link wich I did click.

I noticed it was a fake icloud sign in ( l.cioud was the URL) so I did NOT put it any info.

My question is, did clicking the links give them any access? Like I said I DID NOT put my information in the fake login.

iPhone 15 Plus, iOS 17
