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
iPhone 13 Pro Max
Scam. Apple or Apple Service will never send a message like this. The purpose of the message is to try to trick you into revealing your Apple ID and Password so the phone can be erased and sold.

This is a Phishing Scam Message.
Report this Scam Message:
If it looks official, yet you are skeptical of it, then report it to Apple, and to your federal government (if desired). Do as I've instructed here: Using the Photos App to Report Scams - User Tips.
It's not Apple, no.
As others mention above, it’s a scam. And it also means you will never see this iPhone again.
