Scammed? lost iphone found - now disappeared off icloud

Hi,
My husband, Ernest's, brand new iphone 6 was lost (stolen) last week and via icloud i enabled "lost phone mode" and entered by own mobile number. Last night I received an SMS indicating that the phone had been found (giving me the last digits of the serial number) and directing me to an apple support site (http://appleisupports.com) to verify the details, which I did,.... after that, there was an email that there was a sign in on Ernest's icloud and I changed the password immediately, but could not find any trace of his iphone on find-my-iphone (before this the phone would show with status offline) anymore.
Now, I am pretty sure that this was a scam to get access to the account and erase the lost phone mode, which they (whomever they are) completed successfully. Needless to say is that I have not been informed of the location of the stolen phone....
I would like to know who I could report this to, within the apple support community, to avoid other people making the same mistake.
Picture of the SMS attached
Thanks, Josee

My understanding is that changing the password does not prevent Find My iPhone from continuing to work with the account. However, they may have forced it into recovery mode and restored it. This would have erased it and rendered it unable to be tracked, but it could not be reactivated and used.

Hello, i found my lost iPhone and after a while it got automatically erased from find my iPhone. How can i use it again?

I have found a lost iPhone 4--how do I get it back to the owner?

Hello Folks,
I've found a lost iPhone 4, along with a charger and some other personal effects (none of which are identifying, unfortunately).
Unfortunately, the phone ("Alyssa's Phone) was locked. No problem, call up the service provider (Telus) with the SIM card number. Unactivated and thus unregistered SIM card.
Okay, let's use the IMEI or serial number off the back of the SIM tray--not registered with Telus, either.
Okay, let's phone up Apple technical support: serial number no longer eligible for support!
Clearly, Apple has had some dealing with the phone--can they get in touch with the owner and let them know where they can pick up the phone?

Try to connect the MBP to your computer with Firewire-Target Disk Mode
follow instructions here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1661
and try to find out the owners identity.
it won't work if "open firmware password" is enabled on the MBP.
Or if everything is FileVault encrypted.
It's possible it won't work without a power brick for the MBP, perhaps you can borrow one ?
You could also take out the Harddisk, and pop it in an external enclosure, but that's more effort.

Found a lost iPhone that is locked with a passcode, how do I find the owner?

You probably will not be able to find the owner. Turn it into the police.

Found a lost iphone 4s

Ok Apple so I found a lost iphone 4s at wallmart so 2 weeks earlier I decided to take it to my local police station!!! And gave it to the Police so the police contacted the owner and the owner did not want the phone back ha lol how strange! So the police told me I could have it back But I have a big problem here tho...the iphone is locked threw the icloud activation threw the owners gmail... so I called the police station and asked i if i could have the owners contact the police did not insist.they said No! Apple if I take the iphone to my local apple store can they unlock the iphone 4s activate it or flash it etc.
<Email Edited by Host>

The phone appears to have had more than one 'owner' and the police do not seem inclined to pursue the matter. I believe only Apple security can formally unlock the phone and under these circumstances I doubt they would. There could be all sorts of private detail within.

I lost then found my iphone4 but i found its screen says (Iphone disabled)

I lost then found my iphone4 but i found its screen says (Iphone disabled), how can i re-activate it??

Force the phone into recovery mode, as described here, & restore it:

This will remove the passcode.

Make up your mind. Did you find it with a SIM or without one?
Turn it in to the police. Why is this even a question?

Found lost Iphone in Orlando

Hey, I'm writing this on behalf of a coworker who had gone to Orlando on vacation. She had rented a car at AVIS and they found someone's iphone in the trunk. It was dead when they found it and had a sticker on the back of it. I contacted both AT&T and Apple but they could be of no help. It doesnt help that the lady brought it back to Ohio instead of giving it to AVIS. Anyone know of a good lost and found place for Iphones? Or if your out there and lost your phone in Orlando please contact me at [email protected] It looks like the phone is still getting service so i will leave it on my ipod charger so it can receive calls.
-Joe-

I am curious. If you have a iPod charger, plug it into computer with iTunes. Now sometimes iTunes won't show the phone when locked but sometimes it does (weird, I just notice this odd behavior all the time).
If it does see it then it will show it in iTunes. Now don't sync or anything, but right there in iTunes it will tell you the phone number of the phone.
Other option, turn on phone.
Slide to unlock (yes I know you don't know the code)
On keypad press Emergency Call.
It will bring up Keypad.
It will allow you to call any number.
If the phone hasn't been deactivated, call yourself and get caller ID of phone.
Now you know who to call.
Oops, duh, you you have phone. But maybe get voice mail.
But first option with iTunes will still give you number even if phone has been deactivated thus the person may have a new phone with that number.

Found: Help a user find their lost iPhone

hello,
not being an apple addict i don't really know how to help a locked lost iPhone find its owner.
+are there any services or forums to help this phone get home?+

Please pardon my offense. I do agree it could have been taken badly and sounded a bit too harsh. I apologize. I have also have family and friends who have been, or still are, LEO's.
I am not saying they are dishonest. But in these economically tough times where electronic devices are reduced to almost less than commodity status there has to be a setting of priorities. Realistally I see the return of a mobile phone to be much less important than following up on paperwork for a robbery or rape.
There is also the matter of personal responsibility for the individual citizen. I think the individual should take the first initiative whether it's returning property, voting, or protecting themselves. I my opinion the Police and other goverment organizations, are there to assist society, not be its first line of response or resolution.
I'm glad you pointed out my remarks tonight. It is an indication you were a fine officer, and better still, a fine person looking to help others correct their mistakes. (even while being offended)

How can i found lost iphone?

how can i find lost iphone?

Mobile Me iCloud? Yes helpful but in some conditions like,
You lost your Iphone to the hand of not savvy theft. (dont know how to uninstall apps)
If the theft is kind and retain the apps like Find my phone, it should be connected to 3G or Wifi to be able for you to locate it.
Other than the conditions above, sorry, consider it "donation".
Hope that the Apple can make apps using IMEI instead.
fyi I donate 2X.

I got text messages from iCloudreport regarding my lost iphone , are they scams?

I lost my iphone two month ago and I got a lot of emails from "Find my iphone" saying that my phone has been found in at least three other different countries. Today I received a text message from a unknown phone number saying that: "Find my iphone service: your iphone 6 64Gb Gray lost/stolen has been found. You can reclaim it now at: https://icloudreport.com/?imk=3544070.....(8 more numbers)...., Apple Inc. " I clicked the link, it led me to this address"http://icloudreport.com" it looks the same as icloud home page. I feel this is suspicious because I really did not put any hope on my lost iphone been found. Is this a scam?
I then rechecked the emails that I received in the past and I found that some early emails I received are from "[email protected]". The link in this email direct me to "losticloud.com" while the most recent emails are from "[email protected]" and the link in this email direct me to "icloudreport.com" (which is the same as that in the text message). Is any of the email I got is scam? I remembered I did login through the emails so I'm a little worried.

It's all fake. If you had set up 'Find My iPhone' you could find the phone yourself, provided it's on, not wiped, and able to connect to a network. If you didn't set it up you can't locate the phone and neither can anyone else. The emails are phishing, trying to con you into giving away your login.

Finding a Lost iPhone

I've tried to find my lost iPhone. Checking on iCloud, it says the iphone doesn't have a wi-fi connection. Is there a way to find it via the cellular service?

If you had Find My iPhone activated on the device and it is not showing up when logging into iCloud, did you contact your carrier and have them suspend the device? If so, you will not be able to locate the device via cellular. If you did not have them suspend it, it should show up if it has a cellular connection, unless the device has been found, powered off, or the SIM removed or the device restored. If any of those have happened, you will not be able to locate the device.
