Can an iPhone that is icloud locked be opened?

I recently purchased an iPhone 6 plus on eBay, upon receiving the phone I realised that find my iPhone is turned on, I tried using a website and it was a scam I lost 60usd, I want to know if icloud can really be removed without going to an apple store or if anyone had any successful outcomes with the same situation… Please help

If you want to fully delete your iPhone you can do a full restore on iTunes. Connect with a usb cable your iPhone to the computer, and restore it with iTunes.

Contact the seller and eBay to get your money back. That is the only thing go do. And there's no way to activate that phone, period.

So basically all the websites claiming they can open it are all scams someone should report them and I already tried getting my money back

Nope. Its designed that way.
