It is a common scan to send a text or email stating that a lost phone is found. If you respond it will ask to you log into a site that appears to be Apple and when you do that you will divulge your Apple ID and password and the thief can then turn off Activation Lock.


Use the following to see if you can locate the phone: www.icloud.com/find
