Hey Sofea,


When you are contacted directly by email or other means asking you to click on a link, it is important that you know that such a link is legitimate. See this article about fraudulent emails and links -


Identifying fraudulent "phishing" email - Apple Support


Specifically -

Check that the website you're accessing is legitimate

If you think the URL is legitimate and you click on the link, you can still check that it's a trusted website and business. Modern browsers like Safari 5, Firefox 7, Google Chrome, and Internet Explorer 10 display the company name in green if the site has been issued an Extended Validation (EV) Certificate and is a legitimate website/business.

The iCloud service uses EV Certificates. Just look at the address bar in your web browser when you log in to iCloud.com. You will see "Apple, Inc." displayed in green, so you know that the site is legitimately Apple:

Safari

Firefox

You may note that the link you were pointed to does NOT contain any such authentication.


Do not use your Apple ID to sign in to it. If you have already done so, you should change your Apple ID password immediately using the web form at https://appleid.apple.com.

Hello,


I also received a message from a very short number (1711) saying: Your lost iPhone 6 registered online at 10:35 EET, login at http://goo.gl/izkyoo to track your device, FindMyiPhone Security Ticket Number: 91992FR_US.


Is this a legitimate message? I entered on my icloud account and the phone is still offline.


Should I go back to the police with this message? Can it help find my iphone? 😟


Thank you for your reply,

Gabriela
