Hi

My phone was stolen. So I reported the phone as missing via find my iphone.

A few hours ago, I received the following text message from the number

I logged in and entered my Apple ID, then it asked me the 6 character passcode for the phone, but my passcode was 4 characters. I exited to repeat the process again, but could no longer access the link.
