Iphone 7 plus

If you are the original purchaser of the iPhone, they can help if you bring the original receipt from purchase of the device, your identification and your Apple iD. If you purchased this device used from someone else, no, they cannot help. The original purchaser needs to remove the Activation Lock.

Where did you purchase this device, was it with an online service like eBay? If eBay, they generally have a protection, and if it was not advertised as Activation Locked, you can start a claim to get your money back.

No. It's a brick. You can recycle it.

That means there is no way to bypass the activation lock. Your phone is useless to you. You can recycle it at an Apple Store.

You can buy a new phone. You won’t get any trade in value for the one you need to recycle.
