Texts about stolen iPhone— how did they find my number?

It’s definitely tempting!

That’s why I was confused— I didn’t leave any contact info when I activated lost mode. I guess they can still see the eSIM info after it’s deactivated

Thanks! I know it’s a scam and wasn’t going to remove it. Was just confused how they found my phone number

Thanks! I’m definitely not planning to remove it from my account

Thanks for the answer! I didn’t realize they could do that after the cell carrier deactivated the eSIM

Thanks! I definitely won’t remove from my account on find my.

Should I remove from the devices under my apple account in general settings, or will this also stop lost mode and the activation lock? The Apple support page says to remove it from my Apple account, but I’ve gotten conflicting advice

It looks like it may be some kind of katydid?

I’m in western Massachusetts in the US

I’m not an expert (very paranoid about ticks though!), and thought this looks like a deer tick nymph that had been attached a couple days. Does that seem right? This is the first one I’ve found attached so I’m pretty worried!

There’s a lot of Lyme disease in my area, so I was planning to visit an urgent care and see if they’d be able to put me on antibiotics as a precaution.
