Mar 2, 2015 4:30 PM in response to Calm_Waters888by Niel,If you're the device's original owner, take the device and its original purchase receipt to a physical Apple Store.
If not, but you're able to contact the person who set the lock, send them this link and tell them to follow its instructions.
If neither of the above applies, you can't activate the device but may be able to get it refunded. Apple won't remove the lock for anyone other than the original owner(assuming they're alive.)

Mar 2, 2015 6:11 PM in response to Nielby Calm_Waters888,I am the original owner and since Apple Support already had me delete my phone from Find My Phone, I can't really follow these instructions. It still asks me to authorize my account through the one that I have since removed it from. I've been in contact with Apple multiple times, they have the original receipt, and they are reluctant to do anything at all. After the initial steps of walking me through restarting and recovering the iPhone, Apple has done nothing more to help. If I can't find a solution soon, though, I will do as you suggest and take it straight to Apple for a refund or direct help.

You're definitely on the right path... I would suggest calling AppleCare Support and asking to speak with a Supervisor and relay this information to them if you havent already. I can't imagine they woulnt want to help you as you're following the proper channels.
Cheers
