Troubleshooting a Locked Device:
If so, I'd say you've been scammed, though a full assumption on my part.
- Take this up with the Original Owner:
This is a user-to-user support forum - no one here can change any of that. So, contact the original owner, and have them log out of it. If they cannot log out of it, then it is useless to you.
- If Purchased off of a Web site(i.e. eBay):
Contact the site, and ask that the seller be held accountable and that you get your money back.
- Take this as a learning experience:
The next time you purchase an Appledevice, then make sure that you can log into it. For an iPhone, have the original user use this site: What to do before you sell, give away, or trade in your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support. The seller should have known better. Request that you are able to log into it, and assign it to your account, prior to handing over the money. If the seller decides to dis-abide by those rules you've set fourth, then do not proceed with the transaction.
