Lost iphone 6 : text stating "Your iPhone has been located."

So I lost my phone 6+ a couple days ago, and immediately turned on find my iPhone and put it in lost mode with my roommates contact number. I received a few notifications via email that a location had been identified. There were 2 different locations that were inconspicuous (park and gas station). The following day, my roommate (contact number for the lost phone) received this text: "Apple Inc. Your iPhone has been located. See location."
I understand why I received the locations when the phone came online, but I am confused on why she received this text message. Does that mean it was reported to apple? The message seems legitimate, and the URL is correct. The number it came from has not responded, although it is an active working line. Any ideas or suggestions?
Thank you!

I agree, buttons do wear out, but not as fast. I got my iPhone in September 2012. The Home button would have problems sooner than the power button, that I barely use. To bring the phone ON to enter the lock code I use the Home button. I saw another guy claiming the same thing about his phone. To me it seems like a software problem and probably more and more people will complain about this from now on. But If I wait a little between I press the button again and again, it'll work better - that is why I think it's a software problem (and because my iPhone is only several months old and this started to happen suddenly after the update, one of which was supposed to patch the home screen hack). Anyway, you're right, it's under the warranty and I can replace it, but I'll wait a little, maybe for the next iOS update.

Please stop typing in caps. It is difficult to read and rude, Caps are considered shouting on the web.
Odds are that is a scam.
Post more details, such as phone number and we'll confirm if it is a scam or not.

Disable your firewall/security software and try again.

What does it mean when you receive a text on your iphone 6 form your own number and the message is duplicated on each side (sent/recieved) and has "verizon message" with a long number at the end of the text, duplicated as well?

Great question stacybrownie! Let's get to the bottom of this so that it's not a cause for concern. When a message is sent to/from your own number, it will display as one sent, one received. This makes it display two messages as you are seeing. Let's clarify the second part of your question. Where do you see "Verizon Message" exactly? What is the long number at the end of the text? When did this start and is it with all text messages or only this instance?

Did you log into your iTunes account on the iPhone? On your phone, start the App store, tap the "Featured" icon and scroll down. Do you see Redeem and then, under that, your Apple ID?

I have a iPhone 4 and lately it has been shutting down randomly when I still have battery left. It also doesn't turn back on, until I plug it in to the charger. But when I plug it in, the low battery sign shows up then comes to the lock screen with 68%.

Message is almost acting like a pop up.

Hi
I constantly get same message. When I open up my windows laptop all works fine so I guess it's a bug that apple refuse to admit to.

According to this Apple list

Telia do NOT offer unlocking so it is most unlikely that the iPhone is unlocked and even more unlikely you wold convince them to unlock it

All you may infer is the device hasn't been turned on where it can connect to Wi-Fi.
The phone may be jailbroken if there is no lock passcode to prevent access. However, the phone can be completely erased and restored as new. In this case you will have no ability to locate it or prevent it from being jailbroken.

"Microsoft" calls to tell you that your PC has been hacked

I just got a call from someone claiming to be from Microsoft. He told me that my computer was infected.
He said that Microsoft knew that the PC was hacked because of the error reports I chose to send them when the pop up came up.
You probaly have seen the ones like this.
This was ineresting since I know that no personal information goes to Microsoft when you send the error reports.
Knowing that ther are a large number of scams like this, I asked for the phone number to call them back. He said that he would call me back. Then after pushing some more he gave me a bunch a random numbers.
If you look at Microsoft's Forum and the have a thread called "Phone warnings from 'Microsoft.'"
Bascially, Mircosoft didn't call me to warn me that my PC was hacked. Someone was fishing trying to get acess to my PC.
If you get a call, beware.

Does iOS7 tell you if your phone has been fully charged?
Yes, currently I'm using iPhone 4s with iOS 7.1, following behaviour I could observed,
When batter is charging--> Top right corner in the iPhone charging symbol is filled with white color.
When batter is fully charged--> Top right corner in the iPhone charging symbol is filled with black color.
