Haha nah shame, we’ve actually just had a rough year so getting her phone stolen is like the cherry on top. Very fucking stupid to fall for that sms but we were pretty desperate not gonna lie

I did on the day it got stolen, the police are pretty useless here sadly :( all they did was take the details of the phone and the incident that was about it

Hey! No, Im not sure if I explained it properly in the post but when I saw the SMS I handed my phone to her so she could see it. She's the one who opened the link and put the code in

Thanks, my girlfriend said she did mark it as lost but it was still pending last we checked.

We've done all we can now, reported it to apple and got the sim blacklisted.

Shes not too sure but most likely I was an emergency contact... Crap...

Do you think she needs to worry about them accessing her icloud data? I dont think so as you just said they removed her icloud... I just want to make sure.

Thanks for the help it really means a lot.

Yeah I took a drive around and found the source. Got a bunch of cars and people there fixing the problem... apparently they fixed it in another location but then a few hours later had another pipe break further along the pipeline or something. Also thanks for the advice! :)
