Q: Abandoned apple id

Hi! Recently I bought a second hand iPhone 5. What I managed to research so far is that a few owners used it one after another with the same apple id. One sells it to another, then the new owner sets their own names and password etc. The last one, however, lost his credentials. I can prove that at least two different people used the same account as the last guy wasn't able to log out. Noone answers the given e-mail(I sent two messages but apparently the e-mail address itself has been abandoned). Now I'm stuck with an iphone that is sort of usable but I can't keep it updated or reset it because it'll auto-lock itself to check if it's in the right hands... For some reason I can't reach apple support by e-mail - the system always leads me to an automatic service that lokates me and advices me to go to the local store. This, however, is something I already tried and they couldn't help me. Therefore, I'm asking here in the forum - can anybody give me an advice or help me contact the support team?

 

P.S. I have no idea which community this post belongs to so I'm just randomizing on that. Please move it to the right community, I'll still keep in touch...

iPhone 5, iOS 9.3
