My iPhone 14 Pro Max was stolen and it's location was turned was turned off

Hello, my iPhone was stolen in February, I tried to watch it by location, it showed for a while, and then it was gone, it was written offline. ,Then after a while, I get a text message in regular text messages, and Apple says this: Find My,

The sound was played on an iPhone 14 Pro Max 512GB Deep Purple.

Fixed Face ID snapshots: link

After that, the link became invalid. iPhone geolocation is no longer displayed at all, please tell me what to do?

That is a very prevalent scam attempt that most users that had their iPhone lost or stolen receive, delete it and do not interact with the link. That is the thief with your iPhone who is trying to trick you to provide your Apple Account login to them so they can remove Activation Lock off your iPhone, thus making it fully usable to them.
