I only answer calls from contacts, i ran into this scenario a few weeks ago, my wife lost her phone and wanted to contact me to locate it with "find my iphone" she just text me from her coworker's phone, no problem at all.

Sounds like some next century level “how to track anyone”. Just send an SMS from a random (non-spoofed) phone number, ask to do a “find my iPhone.”

Yeah, that would sound suspicious but she just let me know that she was calling from a diferent number.
