How do I unlock a locked Apple Watch using the owner's email?

Hi, i purchased an apple watch at the facebook market place all the while it was working fine but after resetting i found out it was locked to the owner. The seller told me that it was from her sister that has upgraded to a newer version of the iwatch. Can you tell me please if this email exist in your system, mail@gmail.com. Because he had given me the password and the email for me to erase from her icloud. But the password to it was incorrect. Please help.

Return the watch for a refund. It’s very likely you were scammed and the seller will not respond to your inquiries or has blocked you on Facebook.


You should also report the incident to your local law enforcement.
