activation lock; iphone got scammed

Hey, I just got scammed. The scammer asked me to use my own iPhone to log into his Apple ID. And I did. He later changed his APPLE ID password and used 'Find my' to reset my iPhone.


My iPhone is now stuck in the Activation Lock page.


Is there any way I can resolve this?


I bought this iPhone at a local Apple Store, and couldn't find the receipt any more.


iPhone 11

If you are the owner of the iPhone or the owner has shared all information with you then to open Activation Lock:- If it is Activation locked, read here --> Turn off Activation Lock - Apple Support Activation Lock for iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support

If you are not the owner of the iPhone and do not have the Apple ID and Password then there is no way that you can get into this iPhone unless the original owner shares the Apple ID and password with you.
