How can someone remove iCloud lock 🔐 from a stolen device?

User uploaded file

I was checking CL for a used Apple Watch gen2 SS today and I came across this....

so you tell me, how can someone , who doesn't have your Apple ID, password, finger print or any of the security built into products, be able to bypass iCloud locks?

I mean I am totally inside the Apple eco garden but if someone , here in South Florida, has figured out a way to do, then that means others can, including the US government, China and the U.K., and my stuff is no more secure than if I had just bought $99 Android phones and tablets.


and I want Apple support people to chime in on this, so that's why I am posting it here

I also screen shot the add, with the telephone number

because here in Miami/Fort Lauderdale , they do take iPhones (steal) and take them to Brazil, Chile, Colombia, etc and resell them.


IF you have never been here or been to other countries then you wouldn't understand.

I just posted it to see

And your right, Apple won't read/post in these forums

I would never fall for any of this

It just peaked my interest because maybe someone had or does like those in China, where they pull the chips off, re-flash them and use a valid IMEI & S/N from that way to check online, that apple took down the iphone check.

iPhones are big business here in Miami for Central/South America

just some random posting for discussion

nothing I wouldn't take as being real unless someone figured out a way to bring a global, almost trillion dollar company down.
