No, Chris this this works I had to do this myself so I know for a fact that it will still work. I’ve actually done it several times for family members and friends
Yes, it works, but it's not Activation Lock, the original subject of this thread. If the device is asking for a four or six digit numerical code, this is a passcode, and as you say can be got past by erasing and resetting the device. If however the device is showing a screen like that shown at right, this is Activation Lock and without the required ID and password being supplied by the person who set the lock there is no way whatever of bypassing it. That was the situation the OP found himself in.

I find it funny how ppl jump to stolen device as well, as if ppl don't loose things. Be quick to say ppl should be more responsible then. I found a iphone 6, believe it or not, in a construction area, in a good hard case. I believe a construction worker lost it. It has the icloud lock on it. So now I'm pretty much gonna have to throw a new looking iphone 6s plus away. Apple did a stupid thing with this lock, they wasted money because now they will find their phone torn up for parts or in the trash. Smart move apple. Smart move.
It's not your phone, throwing it away is appropriate (keeping it would be stealing)

In the UK, and presumably in many other countries, if you find an obviously lost object of value you are legally required to make a reasonable effort to return it to the owner - handing it in to the police constitutes a 'reasonable effort'. As said, you are not allowed just to decide to keep it. Had the phone not been locked, and you had decided to keep and use it, then, as said, that would be theft. If the phone has not been claimed after a period - probably six months - then the police would be entitled to return it to you. Of course as it's locked its only value is for parts.
Same law applies in Italy and the US, I imagine also in most EU countries. And if you kept it without unlocking, it would still be theft (useless theft at that)
so how are they able to turn the find my iphone off? there is no way unless apple is allowing it.
its not a scam because it works, i have tested it my self, just for $10. Ebay is full of such sellers now. We need to know from apple, how are they doing it and they are just asking for serial number to unlock, so that means they have apple server access.

They are trying to scam you, Apple are not allowing it.
What i mean it is, they are literally unlocking icloud how can it be a scam when apples website says icloud lock off and the ipad is working fine?
And you have tried one of these $10 fixes. How do you know they work otherwise?
i went to https://www.icloud.com/activationlock/ to check. Checked the ipad and it was unlocked like a new ipad. what else proof are you looking for. You can check it yourself. you can try your own ipad if you dont believe me or you can check the sellers on ebay from there feedback. Apple allows unlocking of icloud but my question remains why not iphones?
Ask Apple, it's your time and money.
doesnt apple reply here?
No.
So what about me. I bought my ipad from a shop big uk retailer cash. Was never made aware that i would need to keep POP. We had a problem with a laptop my wife bought second hand hijacking our router and infecting most of our devices. There was nothing wrong with my ipad except unusual dialogs. So i reported this to apple. They wanted me to contact police etc. They then locked my ipad stating they would reset once i had crime id. which i reported to them. In the mean time it seems some how the find my iphone app was triggered. Not by me. Never even really used icloud so had no memory of Id. so i know i didnt set the find my iphone app up. Who triggered it ? Apple. Even though i have all the correct user details i still cant undo the activation lock ? why. I spoke to tech and they say POP. but that is not possible as retailer does not keep cash receipt records for that long.
So i lose my ipad because apple chose to lock me out how is that fair??
the ipad has never left my house and has never been reported lost. Its a ridiculously over zealous security measure that common sense could solve. it not difficult for someone to prove their identity so why do this?
Not stolen not lost and found not going to accept they can get away with it.
I can not make sense of your post.
