Find My sends you a message once your stolen iPhone gets switched on?

SCAM! SCAM! SCAM!

Beware of a common phishing scam: You may get a text or email from “Apple” or “Apple Security” (or sometimes “Police”) saying your phone has been found and to click on a link to see its location. This is NEVER from Apple or from law enforcement; it is from the thief or fence to steal your Apple ID and identity. Delete any such message without responding to it. Apple never gets involved in lost or stolen devices→Avoid phishing emails, fake ‘virus‘ alerts, phony support calls, and other scams

Then you may never know. No one can tell you if that is a legit email or not so it’d be your decision whether or not you tap on the link. Personally I’d play it safe and ignore it. If you blocked it from your devices then I don’t know if you’d still get a text or not.

It is DEFINITELY not a legitimate email. Apple never gets involved in lost/stolen devices. That’s a great post in the WC about this. Here’s a link for you personally: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/254301855

One way to check, do you have another device you can use to access the Find My data on?

So in case it is a scam, do not use that email/link but pull up your devices another way and look. The information should be there.
