I WANTED TO SELL MY PHONE. A GIRL WROTE TO ME SAYING HER ICLOUD DOES NOT COME IN SOME MODELS AND ASKED ME TO CHECK IF IT WILL COME FROM MY DEVICE. I AGREED AND WENT INTO HER ICLOUD WAS GOING TO GO BACK OUT, BUT THE GIRL MANAGED TO CHANGE THE PASSWORD FROM ICLOUD AND WROTE TO ME "YOU GOT CAUGHT IF YOU DON'T SEND MONEY WHERE I SAY I WILL BLOCK YOUR MOBILE PHONE" AND BLOCKED IT AFTER AN HOUR. I WANT TO KNOW IF IT'S POSSIBLE TO UNLOCK MY PHONE? I HAVE A BOX, A BILL OF LADING, A WARRANTY CARD (BOUGHT 4 MONTHS AGO).
