Text Scam? Lost/Recover Iphone

Hi, this happened to me today. The same story. I also gave to those criminals my iCloud login and pswd via theirs fake page. I have a question now - as I see this happened to you at August 2014..Have you got any real troubles because of it? What all should one change after this happens? Thanks a lot! Lukas.

Same. Phone stolen in Houston. Husband and I both receiving professional looking texts from 562-375-6347 with a link to iphonestatus.com. Previously we received texts from 252-25 with a link to www.icloudsupport.cf

I just had this happen too. I had my phone stolen while overseas about two weeks ago and just received a text message from a 484 area code to goto a website that has the word "appleid" in it but is NOT a real apple website - although it says "Apple Support Copyrights 2015" on it to make it look official. The link takes me to a french page asking me to input my apple ID and password. I didn't fall for it, but it's very disconcerting because I'm sure a lot of people do.

My wife's phone was stolen in Los Angeles last week and while I didn't get the text message like others, I did get a call from Apple Inc (it appears they spoofed the Called ID) and it all seemed legit until I hung up. I reported to LA PD, and Apple but doubt anything will come of it. But it does seem like a service being offered to phone thieves to get these things unlocked.

Yes, we got a similar message after my partner's iphone went missing. I recognized it immediately as being a phishing message and did not respond. Now I see the blessing in the message: it confirmed to me that in fact the phone was not LOST, but rather it proves the phone was STOLEN. An important distinction when sorting out what went wrong, whose fault it was, how to act in the future. The fact that we know for sure now that it was stolen and not simply misplaced or left by mistake somewhere, that's important to know.

Did anybody get another text today from the same area code but different number? The number was (213) 454-0035. They sent the same message as the other number.

Yes, I listed my husbands number as the contact number on the find my iphone app. He received another message, same as the previous one but from a different number 213.454.0035

I got the same text from the same number as you did...

THANK YOU for posting this questions! My phone was stolen from Dria's in Las Vegas 3 nights ago. I just received this same text. 😠

These people must be targeting girls at nightclubs. My sister's phone was stolen from a Hardrock nightclub in Florida. She had a cross body purse on and they stole it out of the pocket.

This a similar story to my girlfriend who had her iPhone stolen in San Francisco. They followed up trying to scam iCloud information.

I wonder if police can figure out where the message came from....

I also had this happen in Las Vegas at Hakkisan night club. See text message. This is a scam, do not respond. I called apple and they reassured me that they do not send text messages.
