iPhone lost and stolen then weird SMS of "Apple".
I'm an IT company, a user recently lost his iPhone on a taxi and no chance to recover. He had access find my iPhone to track down but cannot locate, so he issued remote wipe, and he did. We keep the unit not taken off the list. However, he received a SMS text as below:
【Find my iPhone】
Full name of the user,
An iPhone connected to your Apple ID ([email protected]) has been properly connected to the network and tries to be activated. If this is not done by you in person, it is strongly recommended to access the _ http://www.Applefindst.com/us _ to display the location information and retrieve your device.
[Apple support]
He did visit the Web site and redirected it to iCloud.com, he login with password as usual, but it says incorrect password.
When it relates to me, I really doubt that the field is a phishing Web site to steal information. I immediately changed her password Apple ID.
And start searching the Internet, I found nothing when Google "Applefinst."
But discovered that the field was just registered by a company in China April 11, 2016

When browsing "http://APPLEFINDST.COM" he redirected to "http://APPLEFINDST.COM/findIr2xq.html" with Java Script and redirect again to "'https://www.icloud.com/ ' "
I'm not a programmer and knows no Java script, but I am really concern about this site Web is not officially from Apple and could hurt other people.
I hope that Apple Inc. will follow up on this!
Thank you

Report the situation to [email protected]. It's like a possible direct link. If Apple respond to these messages, I don't know, but if something has serious potential, I guess they can.

Deneen8500,
When you say that you have "written to you people ', I have to imagine say you you wrote to Apple. Here, we have no way to help you find a lost phone. It is a technical body of the user for the user.
And of course, Apple cannot find lost phones. They provide facilities for you to implement "Find my phone", but if you haven't taken advantage of this I'm afraid can't do anything. I hope that you have reported to the police, especially if you have coverage with private insurance.

6 sec more lost/stolen iPhone. Turned on the 'lost' Mode and displays the number to call if found on-screen. It is w / "Find my iPhone", went up, no response from any home in the area. Later received an email that it was found, still no call to the number on the screen. Several unsuccessful attempts to get it back, now the phone is in offline mode and says that the history of the site is not available. I left a note on all the doors in the place indicated on the "find my iPhone" describing my phone lost and left a number to call. I am leasing through the iPhone upgrade program. Help, please.
There is no way to locate now, unless the one who found it exerts a force on you contact on this number you posted
The good news is, since you have find my iPhone, they will not be able to reuse the phone even if they are trying to restore. Unless they know your password, or you have a valid proof of purchase AGFI won't be deleted.
So if the person who found the phone knows about it, he or she would rather go back because it would be of no use to them.

My have a bought a lost or stolen IPHONE
Hi I recently bought a used Iphone 6 and realized that it my lost or stolen, because it is locked by the locking activation so now I'll try to find the real owner of the device, so I can know what I'll do, is it possible to find the original owner, so I can communicate with him or her to return to phone if this is the case?
No, it isn't. You should give it to the police if you feel that it is stolen. Apple will not get involved at all with goods lost or stolen - they do not contact the owner or even to identify who they are. And you can do nothing at all yourself in order to identify the owner, unless they choose to send a message to the lock with the contact details screen.
The point of blocking activation must allow owners to ensure that their devices can be used by anyone but them. He is not an owner search service or database. The only people to have an any hope to derive from the information unit and its legitimate owner are the police through their investigative powers formal and legally entitled to request information.

This site explains the steps on how you can try to find your iPhone. Apple has no way to do it for you other than what is explained. You seem familiar with this utility already, but just to reassure you, it is the only medium in which you can track your iPhone. If it has been removed, so there is no other way. I suggest that you contact your local law enforcement to file a report for your lost device. They only want your S/N so that they can identify it is yours if happen them to find.

6 iPhone lost all messages upgrade to 9.3.2,and any way to recover
Updated my Iphone 6 and 4th gen ipad to 9.3.2 and lost all emails, is it possible to recover?
Restore the backups you made before the updates. If the accounts were IMAP or Exchange accounts, mail is on the server. Simply remove and reinstall the accounts. If it comes to a POP account and the post has been deleted from the server, they are gone, if you do not have a backup.
