This is how bad guys can reset (and later resell) your stolen iPhone. The average Joe stands *no chance*, here is why (Thread)
This is a recent text message someone provided to me.
You receive a message from "Apple" to your recovery phone. In your native language, perfectly spelled. This looks legit, and you're happy because you might have a chance to get back your lost phone, right?
Domain name looks like an official icloud service, you know how this ends for most people. This is a very simple #phishing, yet very effective.
So here are my few tips I'd recommend for the average user:
1) Do not trust the SMS Caller ID, it can be spoofed easily
2) If you have to check the "Locate my iPhone" feature, go to apple.com or icloud.com directly. Do not click on links provided to you
They can even interact with you using iMessage, using an apparent Apple support staff e-mail. Deadly. 😳
