Hello! Today I got caught by scammers. I entered someone else's appleid on my iPhone 13 Pro and my phone was blocked. i tried restoring through my macbook in itunes but it still asks for someone else's apple id and password. I don't see my iPhone on the iCloud site in Latitude, only my MacBook. Please help!

Your phone wasn't "hacked" You were subject to a scam and gave ownership of your phone to the scammer by entering their information into it.
Apple can completely reset a device if a person can provide sufficient evidence of valid ownership. Do this online at: Activation Lock support request - https://al-support.apple.com/#/additional-support Apple says, "Proof of ownership documentation is required," but does not detail what currently constitutes proof. Prior to this new online service Apple typically required the original receipt issued by Apple or an Apple Authorized Reseller and documented provenance (so typically it would be the original owner who does this, or a descendant with legal proof of ownership). This will give you access to the device but won't restore access to the account used to lock it. There is nothing that can be done to expedite an Activation Lock request.
