Before You Reply To That “We Found Your iPhone” Text, Read This Warning

Make it harder for a scammer to pass off your iPhone as their own by enabling Lost Mode ASAP. You can do this through the Find My app on another device or going to iCloud.com/find. This way, no one can access your personal information on your phone and you can see where your phone was last located. Once you select your device you want to be locked, payment cards are suspended, and you can create a message that will display on your phone saying that it is lost and how you want to be contacted. 

Similarly, if you lose your Android phone, you can enable Remote Lock by typing in the phone number of the device you want locked.  

Change your passwords.
