If you logged into a scammer's account on your iPhone – or gave scammers the means to do so – the phone is very likely lost to you. The scammer probably put your phone into Lost Mode. If the phone is in Lost Mode, Apple might refuse to unlock it even if you had an original receipt from Apple or an Apple Authorized Reseller.


Next time, do not log into a scammer's account, no matter what sob story they might tell about needing to "borrow" your phone, or what goodies they might promise you if only you log into their account.

these forums are user helping other users like yourself, it's sort of going

to a physical apple store and asking other customers their advice


non of us has any ties or means to communicate with apple


if they blocked the IMEI number with carriers the only ones who can do anything are the carriers it's blocked by


best you can get are means of how to contact them


Get Support (apple.com)

And or

Contact - Official Apple Support

and or

Contact - How to Contact Us - Apple


or give them feedback

Product Feedback - Apple


but again if the IMEI is blocked by carriers then it's not even a question who made the phone, in that respect it's all in the same boat.
