Nothing we can do.


Whether this iPhone was originally lost or stolen, the original owner with a receipt or the person that last owned this can clear Activation Lock. Activation Lock is a theft deterrent.


Assuming you can’t locate the seller to release this lock or to refund your purchase, you now own an expensive brick.
