Request to Contact Previous Owner Due to Activation Lock on Used iPhone

Hello,

I recently purchased a used iPhone from a private seller, but when I tried to set it up, I discovered that it is locked with the previous owner’s Apple ID due to Activation Lock. It seems that “Find My iPhone” is still enabled on the device.

Unfortunately, I do not have any information about the previous owner — no phone number or email — so I cannot contact them to ask for the device to be unlocked.

Is there any way I could get the previous owner’s email address or phone number so I can reach out to them?

Alternatively, could you please forward my request to them on my behalf and ask them to remove the device from their iCloud account?

I would really appreciate any help you can provide in resolving this issue.

Kind regards,

Max
