Phone lock message

[seln]

Screen showed a message saying it had been reported as lost or stolen and would be locked.  Gave the Samsung UK phone number.  Rang them and they said they would prevent it.

Are you sure it isn't a scam, iv'e saw quite a few posts about people receiving that message recently 🤔

I rang Samsung in the morning as had exactly the same message. They advised that this was a global glitch that has been sent out to lots of phones and they're working hard to resolve the issue. They recommended changing the Samsung account password as a precaution and confirmed that the phones won't be locked

They asked for me imei number

That happened to me last year when I had my S8+ and just advised me to change my account password, was a pain as I couldn't access some of my other apps without having to confirm my new password before I could open them,Microsoft One drive was the worse.
