A few days ago I had bought an iPhone 5 (or 5s, I don't know the difference) off of eBay. It came a couple days later completely reset with the standard 'Hello' and a white backdrop to greet me. However, I came across an Activation Lock screen that I can't bypass because apparently it was once connected to someone's iCloud/Find my iPhone account. I've tried contacting the seller to no avail, and tried bypassing it changing the DNS on my WiFi like different sources have suggested. I'd rather not find out I wasted my money for nothing, if there's anything I can do, please tell me. I'm desperate to get this in working order.
