iPhone found message

My wife iPhone has been stolen, I was able to block it inserting my number in the recall message and to call the police. The thief has been arrested but the phone was lost. Last week I received three messages from +44786013080 User uploaded file

I ignored them.


Today I received a new message with the same content, but from Apple. I can't see the number, but it's associated with an old Apple name I have in my addressbook.

Then I tried the website (without typing anything) and it brings me to iCloud, the site certificate seems right.


Is it a real message from Apple? I think not but better ask

The message is not real. The person with your iPhone is trying to scam you into providing your password so they can remove activation lock. Don't ever click on a link from a text, only use a web browser to use icloud.com. Make sure to follow the advice in this link - If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch is lost or stolen - Apple Support
