Sep 23, 2016 6:41 AM in response to FelipeVby sam1122sam,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.

Sep 23, 2016 6:57 AM in response to Csound1by sam1122sam,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?

Sep 23, 2016 7:09 AM in response to Nabeelnavby paulocks6,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.

Sounds to me like you fell victim to a scam. You didn't call Apple. You called someone else. Apple would never lock a customer device as you describe. You we're conned.
Without POP, you're hosed. It's your responsibility to keep track of important documents.
