I was tricked into logging out of my icloud and logging into their account

Now when I contact them, they say I have to transfer money to open it. My phone was purchased from a store not authorized by Apple. I still keep the purchase documents from that store when they sold it to me


iPhone 6, iOS 12

Even sending money is likely not going to help. They are more concerned about getting money from you than actually giving you access to your device. Once you send money, they will likely ghost you or tell you to send more money. If the phone was purchased from an Authorized Seller, the Activation Lock could be removed, but since that is not the case, it is likely that your phone has been bricked.
