Has my stolen iPhone been hacked? I had my iPhone 12 PRO stolen at the end of December. Through iCloud, I marked my iPhone as lost almost straight away. A month later, I got a notification that my phone had connected to iCloud at a location in Romania (I live in Ireland). Once i had set up a new phone, I tried to erase my iPhone 12 PRO and that is pending. Today I got this text message, which I am assuming is fake, can anyone confirm please? Many Thanks, Claire [Re-Titled by Moderator]

Someone contacted me about stolen iPhone Is this possible or is it a scam. Message first came in French. I lost my iPhone in France. Then after a couple of hours came in English and asked to send a read receipt. It was also Asking if I am the owner and to type yes. When I did I got a call from the United States which I didn’t pick up

This looks like a scam. Most likely the person who stole it is trying to get your address. Apple will never contact you unless you contact them. The url is also not from Apple.

NO. It’s a scam. Do NOT use the link in that message.
