Apple doen't get involved in a lost or stolen device and won't send you any text/email messages about that.

Ignore that message and DO NOT respond.


These are the only steps you can perform in such a situation:--> If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch is lost or stolen,

and/or:--> Use the Find My app to locate a missing device or item,

and/or:--> If Find My is offline or not working

and/or:--> If Find My iPhone or Find My iPad isn't enabled on your missing device


Regards and best of luck.
