I bought an icloud locked iphone (craigslist )?

I bought a blue ilcoud locked iphone 5c on craigslist, for 125, and i gave her the money through gift transfer on paypal, i also have been trying to email her and i get no reply then i tried to call her and she changed her phone number, please help since i sent it as a gift on paypal they won't give me my money back can i call the police, and the package has no return address, after doing all that i locked at the ad and it said in small words the iphone was locked but still thats not fair she put them so small

Can i get around the lock?
IF not what i do

Try restoring it on iTunes.

Try DFU and reloading iOS syncing your iPhone.

You do realize that everyone knows you knew you bought a stolen iPhone right? $125 for an iPhone 4S IS A STEAL! Yet you bought a 5C for 125!

Remember, device is still trackable! I'd read up on that As soon as possible. Good luck!

Calling the cops unless you know who sold it to you is worthless unless you want to be honest and loose out on your money! Which honestly, You'd make someone really happy!

  • Why should I do. I bought a iPhone on craigslist but it's stolen? I was looking for a 4s and I searched on craigslist. I bought one from a guy on craigslist who apparently comes to my school but I don't know his name and my school is pretty big. I took it home put the Meid number onto a website. It told me that it was stolen. Why should I do?
  • Locked iPhone 5s off craigslist? So i bought an iPhone 5s off of craigslist and as I shouldve expected it was locked. Tried everything even calling apple support and i can't contact the seller because they took down the ad. Anyway to bypass it
  • I bought an icloud locked iphone 5s? Bought it off my friend who didn't want to deal with a locked iPhone (she bought it not stole it) I mean come on now 70$ for an iPhone 5s, its icloud locked and was wondering if its actually icloud unlockable and where I could get it done as I heard apple would confiscate it if I even tried to go to them. Any help is appreciated.
  • I bought a iPhone that is iCloud locked but imei seems to be good? I bought an iPhone and they said it wasn't iCloud locked. I checked the IMEI and it said it was activation ready and what not but after I got home and started setting it up, it turned out to be locked. I have no problem with returning it as long as I get my money back but the guy says he's not coming back until Tuesday and frankly I don't believe him. What do I do?
