Scammers blocked my iPhone

I was tricked into logging in someone else's Apple ID, after which my iPhone was put into loss mode and then completely locked. The scammers demand money for unlocking, but I am sure that if I pay they will demand more. Is there any way to unlock the smartphone in this situation or can you tell me what to do?

iPhone 15, iOS 17

First, report this to local law enforcement .Do you have the iPhone still in possession? If so ,are you the original owner of the iPhone and can prove that with valid proof of purchase information? Then , you can start an Activation Lock support request at Apple
