I bought an Apple Watch second hand and when I went to link it it was activation locked, I asked the seller and he said he got it like that but didn’t advertise it, he isn’t responding to me and I don’t know if I go into Apple they will remove it or not? Can anyone help?
Apple Watch Series 3, watchOS 5
No one can help you except the original owner. It appears as if you were scammed by the seller.
No, that is not possible.
Is there no way Apple would give me the original owners email and I could email him/her and I could talk to them?
Thank you for your help
You are welcome.
