Go here:
Activation Lock for iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support
Scroll down to the section labeled:
Check for Activation Lock before you buy a device from someone else
You should check the phone in their presence by following process outlined in the articles in this thread BEFORE you give him any money.
It seems you already bought it. If it was given to you with out it being erased and with the previous owners account, it is 99% it has activation lock on.
Contact the seller and try to meet up and erase it in his presence. Have him turn off activation lock.
How will I know if he's turned off the activation lock?.... Because I'm about to reset mine now..... So I just wanted to know out of curiosity
Ohh okay......thanks a lot
