    What is iCloud Lock and Why It Exists

    Apple’s iCloud Activation Lock is a security feature introduced to prevent stolen devices from being reused. When Find My iPhone is enabled, the device becomes locked to the Apple ID used during setup. Without that original Apple ID and password, no one else can activate or reset the phone — even with a factory reset.

    How iCloud-Locked iPhones End Up in the Market

    Most iCloud-locked iPhones are sold as “cheap deals” by scammers or dishonest resellers. These devices may be:

    • Stolen or Lost: The rightful owner never signed out
    • Returned or Abandoned: But not properly erased
    • Imported Unverified: Grey market units that didn’t pass clearance checks

    Unsuspecting buyers think they’re getting a good price — until they find the phone is permanently unusable.

    How to Check for iCloud Lock Before Buying

    Always do the following before buying a used or unofficial iPhone:

    • Ask seller to go to Settings > General > Transfer or Reset > Erase All Content and Settings in front of you
    • After reset, make sure the phone boots to the Hello screen without asking for Apple ID
    • If Apple ID login appears, the device is iCloud-locked — never buy it
    • Check IMEI status at Apple’s iCloud Activation Lock tool

    Important: Don’t believe sellers who say “I’ll send the ID later” or “You can bypass it.” These are almost always scams.

    What to Do If You Already Bought an iCloud-Locked iPhone

    If you’ve accidentally bought one:

    • Try contacting the original seller and demand the Apple ID (rarely works)
    • Report the IMEI to police or cybercrime units if purchased from Facebook
    • Consider reselling the parts if legal in your area
    • Do not fall for “iCloud unlock” paid online tools — most are fake or illegal

    Unfortunately, once an iPhone is iCloud-locked, there’s little you can do without the original Apple ID credentials.

    User Story: Scam Victim in Dhaka

    Rahat from Mohammadpur: “I bought an iPhone 12 Pro for ৳65,000 on Facebook. After reset, it asked for iCloud login. Seller vanished. Lost all my savings.”

    This story is sadly common, especially among students and budget buyers.

    Tips to Avoid iCloud Scams in Bangladesh & India

    • Never buy without full testing
    • Always check Apple ID is removed and reset is clean
    • Avoid courier transactions or offers that seem too good
    • Buy from verified platforms like Bikroy, Daraz, or physical stores
