Hi. I bought an iphone 12 from a guy that looked rich. Me thinking- ohh. He has money and he can affoard new iphone, and sell the old one for less money.

so he sent iphone from another country so i sent the money to him.

i got the iphone but it has a icloud and apple id activation lock.

Contact the person you bought the phone from and return and get your money back.


Otherwise the phone is useless since it requires the original owners information to remove the activation lock.
