iPhone users are being warned of a sophisticated scam targeting individuals who have lost their devices. Scammers are creating fake Apple websites designed to steal iCloud credentials and wipe lost phones clean.

• Scammers send fake SMS messages, appearing to be from Apple Support, claiming a lost device's status has been updated and providing a link to a fake tracking website.
• Kenyan entrepreneur Khalif Kairo is alerting users to this growing fraud scheme.
• The trap exploits Apple's Activation Lock, which makes stolen devices unusable until thieves obtain the owner's Apple ID and password through these fake websites.
