Half of them are scams and it's against Apple's terms of service. Usually, phones like that end up on Ebay for a 5th of it's value. Fine you want the PSU tier list?

Posted November 8, 2019 Its likely you won't be able to get around that.

Posted November 8, 2019 While I don't want to immediately assume that this is simply asking to unlock a stolen device, I've never understood how someone can "forget" an email account and password, especially with all of the second factor authentication and back ups that are offered these days. There's a reason Apple won't help you; it's mentioned above. Totally understandable. Always make sure the phone has been cleared before you purchase it.

Not just that (how easy it is to keep track of), but the fact that keeping track of it is very important. For example, maintaining access to an expensive device. Anyone careless enough to lock a valuable device to an account they then allow themselves to forget and lose access to frankly shouldn't be using or buying said device in the first place.

The only way to get around it is to ask the OG owner of the said iPhone to unlink his/her Apple ID from the old iPhone. https://appleid.apple.com/account/manage > Under "Devices", click the old iPhone 6 > click "remove from account". There is more that meets the eye I see the soul that is inside Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why I always assume questions like this are just related to stolen phones....especially since 99% of the time it's from someone with 1 or 2 posts.

Posted November 9, 2019 Return the phone to your friend. If you stole it you're an ass and if he sold a non-working phone to you then it's between you two to sort it out. If you had knowledge of this beforehand and still paid for it he wouldn't be entirely wrong in denying a return however That's an F in the profile pic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a reason Apple won't help you; it's mentioned above. Totally understandable. Always make sure the phone has been cleared before you purchase it. There are people that may not entirely be of the right mind, or have issues with memory, and sometimes, may lack the familial tech support. If the "friend" won't provide a refund, the only further advice I can offer (that hadn't been mentioned) is to be more selective of your friends.
