My son's iPhone was stolen a few weeks back. We had T-Mobile block the sim card. Since then we received 3 text (sms) messages, 2 from Apple and 1 from Appleinc.
The 2 from Apple both had a message saying:
'Apple report, Your lost iPhone has been located. Track down your last known location online at https://apple.track-locations.com/icloud/lihvl (2 different links in both texts) and the other one had the following link: https://track.apple.com.eu-en.cf/?imei=........

Apple Support'

The 1 from Appleinc had the following text:

'Apple report, Your lost iPhone has been found. You can get support about your lost Apple device online at https://www.apple.com.es-en.support/?auth=........

My son's iPhone was stolen a few weeks back. We had T-Mobile block the sim card. Since then we received 3 text (sms) messages, 2 from Apple and 1 from Appleinc. The 2 from Apple both had a message saying: 'Apple report, Your lost iPhone has been located. There are apps on the PC (in Chrome browser specifically), and also email, that allow you to send texts from your PC. They do not get sent from your phone # however. You need a phone for that. Mine is iMessage. I was texting with my mom last night, and she updated to 14.2 on her XR in the process. Soon after, she stopped replying to my text. Apple said this process might take a few.

When the first 2 from Apple came in I was not suspicious but luckily I did not use the link in the text but logged into iCloud using my computer. I could see that the iPhone was briefly turned on nearby Barcelona, while it was stolen in the Netherlands. When the 3th sms came in about the iPhone being found I did get a feeling that these were actually not coming from Apple but was a very smart way of social engineering. At least I think. The sms and even the webpage that you are being diverted to a very real looking Apple site.

Can you confirm that Apple never sends out text message about a located or found iPhone (when stolen)?
