You are correct that the messages that you are receiving are scams.


You will not be able to track the person who is sending the messages......who may or may not be the person who stole the phone.


Most iPhone thieves sell the phone to a "fence" as quickly as they can. The fence will try to trick you into revealing your personal information. If they are not successful, the phone is usually resold to a huge remanufacturing plant in China.


So, if you are tracking the phone online.......you may see that it is in China in a few weeks.
