My iPhone was stolen and I have received all types of scams

Hello all. A few moths ago, mi iphone was stolen in public transport in Madrid.


As it that wasn’t enough, since then, i have received all types of scams: apple support writing by what’s app askying me for the stolen mobile phone, SMS inviting me to log in on suspect urls an calls from Cork, Ireland ( at least 4 calls) with the purpose of steal personal information.


Also comment that i put my phone on lost mode and the last update i receive was that was located in Marocco.


Of course, they are criminal groups, so take care, dont answer these calls and change all personal passwords.

they are trying to get you to provide them with your appleID and password so they can remove the activation lock

if you do not provide them with those, they can pretty much only use the phone for parts
