Sorry, there is no way to turn on Find My remotely.
The only way to turn off Find My is with your Apple ID/iCloud password. The usual way that thieves get the password is to send you a message about the lost phone. The message appears to be from Apple and when you respond to the message and log into a fake site that appears to be Apple, that divulges your password.
You should immediately change your Apple ID password if you still can. See: Change your Apple ID password - Apple Support

Thank you, that’s exactly what they did, I didn’t realize until after when I saw find my iPhone was turned off.
