Q: Icloud Locked

I am buying a Iphone6 off of craigslist today and I noticed it said Iclould locked. I am meeting the seller at a Verizon store (my current carrier) today to get my phone now transferred to the new. Can the seller or the person who works at the Verizon store can unlock the Icloud? Is there anyway for the Icloud to get unlocked.

    It can only be removed by having the person who set the lock(this isn’t necessarily the same person as the seller) follow these instructions, or by the device’s original owner asking Apple to remove it.

    If this is a used device, you will need to contact the seller to have them log out of iCloud or go to iCloud.com/Find My Phone and erase the device. If you can’t do that, the device is useless.
