    It seems that you may have an unusable phone.    If your friend cannot secure the original owner's help, you are lost.     Only the original owner can unlock the activation.

     

    Your only claim for a refund is on the person to whom you actually gave the money to ... whether or not they eventually passed it on elsewhere.

     

    Good luck.
