Apple ID fraud

Fraudsters on the Internet, under the pretext of downloading exclusive applications, ask to enter their Apple ID, send a password and also ask to turn on the locator, after which they change the password and the device is stolen, it is impossible to use. At the moment I know of two Apple IDs belonging to scammers on which many devices are tied, please check them and block them, release the blocked devices due to the stupidity and gullibility of users. vitalia*********@icloud.com and gug********@gmail.com

Your only option is to submit a request to remove the Activation Lock. This will require the original purchase receipt from Apple or Authorized Apple seller to remove the lock.

It is a tough lesson to learn, but the devices are now locked to someone else and you are forced to prove the devices are actually yours and the only way to do that is the original purchase receipt. Nothing else will be accepted.
