So want to talk to apple agent to help me stop device removal request from find my

This is a user-to-user forum. Apple is not here, except to moderate it.

I'm sorry, but as far as anyone here knows, there is no way to remotely cancel that request. If you fell for a "phishing" scam and gave your Apple Account credentials to the criminals, allowing them to remove your phone from your account, they can "make your phone their own" at any time. The phone may continue to show up in Find My for up to 30 days – but the Activation Lock was cleared the moment the "remove" request was made. There is a very narrow corner case under which Activation Lock might turn itself back on if the criminals leave your phone unmolested for 30+ days, but realistically, that isn't going to happen. The phone is gone.

As painful as it is to realize that the criminals have your phone, and it won't be coming back, the bigger problem is their access to your Apple Account. You do not want to let them have access to that on an ongoing basis!

Secure your Apple Account now.

Also keep in mind that the criminals may have used their access to your Apple Account to rummage through data in iCloud. Change passwords to other sensitive accounts and be on the lookout for identity theft.

Report the theft to your carrier and ask them to blacklist the phone, so it will never receive cellular service from any carrier who honors the blacklist, ever again.

If you have lost your iPhone and someone subsequently contacts you claiming to have found it or offering to help you recover it, never share your Apple Account (Apple ID) credentials, password, or verification codes with them.Scammers often exploit such situations to gain access to your account and remove your iPhone from your ownership.

If you have already shared your credentials and Find My now displays a message stating that the device will be removed on a specific date, it could indicate that someone is attempting to remove the device from your account.

What should you do now?

1. Change your Apple Account password immediately.
   1. Since you can still sign in to iCloud and access Find My, the other person may not have changed your Apple Account password yet. However, being able to sign in does not guarantee that your account is secure.
   2. Act immediately and change your password yourself by following these steps:
      1. Open account.apple.com in your browser.
      2. Sign in to your Apple Account.
      3. Navigate to Sign-In and Security.
      4. Select Password.
      5. Follow the on-screen instructions to change your password.
      6. After changing your password, review your account security settings, trusted phone numbers, and the list of devices associated with your Apple Account. Check for unfamiliar devices or changes you did not authorize.
2. Check Find My and preserve Activation Lock.
   1. Once you have secured your account, check Find My again to see whether the removal message has disappeared or the device's status has changed.
   2. Do not remove the missing iPhone from your Apple Account or Find My. Keeping it associated with your account helps preserve Activation Lock, which makes it more difficult for someone else to activate and use the device.
   3. Even if someone contacts you again claiming that removing the device is necessary to recover it, do not follow their instructions without independently verifying the situation with Apple Support.
3. Lodge a written police complaint.
   1. If this is your iPhone, report the incident to your local police station. Explain that:
      1. Your iPhone was lost.
      2. Someone contacted you afterwards, and you shared your Apple Account credentials with them.
      3. Find My now displays a message indicating that the device will be removed on a specified date.
      4. You are concerned that someone may misuse your device or attempt to remove its Activation Lock.
   2. Obtain an acknowledged copy of your written complaint and keep it safely. Include your iPhone's IMEI number, serial number, purchase invoice, relevant screenshots, and any available details of the person who contacted you.
4. 4. Contact Apple Support.
   1. Explain the circumstances to Apple Support and ask for guidance on securing your account and protecting your missing iPhone.

An important warning

You do not know who currently possesses your iPhone or how they intend to use it. Therefore, take immediate steps to secure your Apple Account, preserve the device's association with Find My, and document the incident with the police.

The most important thing to do right now is to change your Apple Account password before the other person can take further action. Do not remove the iPhone from your account, even if you receive a message suggesting that it will be removed on a particular date.

The device may still be passcode-protected, but now that someone (the criminals) have logged in and requested its removal, it is no longer Activation-Locked.

Remove a device from Find Devices on iCloud.com - Apple Support (CA)

"If the device is online, it can’t be removed, but you can prepare it for service. If you select Continue, the device is marked as Ready for Repair or Trade In for the next 30 days."

"If the device is offline, Activation Lock is removed immediately, and the device is removed from Find My after 30 days."
