How do I wipe an IPhone 7 without a ITunes/iCloud password without any extra devices?

I just want to reset my phone. I want to switch my accounts so I can purchase games and be easily able to switch. The problem is that I used a really old ICloud account and I only remember the password for it, but it's locked for "security reasons". The point is that I can't normally reset my phone because I can't log in. I don't even believe I have an iTunes account. I just want it all gone for I won't have any password and purchasing problems and I can't reset it because I have password problems, ironic.

What to do if you're scammed/robbed of $2000 in cash?

So I was dealing with this guy I met off of Craigslist named Ryan. He had an ad up saying he could get brand new iPhones for cheap which he did. We met a couple times and I bought the iPhones off of him. Then earlier this week, he called me saying he has two people that want to get iPhones from the mall and all I have to do is pay for the deposits. He told me to meet him at the mall parking lot. When I got there everything seemed normal, he and another male and female were with him. He explained everything and told me to give him the cash in the car because it would seem suspicious if I gave him it inside the mall. I handed $1000 to him and the female(2) so they could go to At&t. The male (1) asked me to go with him to Verizon but to wait outside of the store. I gave him the money. I waited for him outside Verizon and he came out a couple minutes later and said there's two customers in front of him. He told me to go check on Ryan and (2) at the At&t store which is on the other side of the mall. I went to At&t and no one was in there. I then realized what these sons of bit**** were doing. I have tried calling him but he's been ignoring my phone calls ever since. I know they had this all planned out. I know where this guy Ryan lives found his address online and looked up his information and found his Facebook. I'm only 18 going into college next year and they've taken all my money away from me. I want my revenge but I don't want to get into a lot of trouble. What should I do?

If an iPhone somehow got a virus, what would stop that virus from spreading to the recovery image?

If an iPhone got a virus, couldn't it just spread to the recovery image? I don't mean where you connect the iPhone to your computer and restore through iTunes. I mean the restore image that is actually on the iPhone.

What size storage iPad do you have?

I know if you download a lot of movies or entertainment, you should get a larger size. So i'm asking what size you have, and what function you use it for? Did you get it new or used, wifi only or with cellular? I would only get it wifi, as i still have an iPhone if i need to use any cellular activity.

what size screen did you get too? For watching TV and movies, is 10" a good size for one person? I was looking at getting the 256 GB option ipad pro.

If I sign into an iPad with a different Apple ID, will all my stuff be gone?

I used to use my dad's Apple ID on my iPad mini (he used it on his iPhone and an old iPad 2). Now he has bought a new iPad, told some of his technicians to transfer the data from his old one to the new one, an what he got is all the apps and data from my iPad mini (including pictures, notes etc). Perhaps it chose this iPad because it had a newer ios?
Anyways, by now I have my own Apple ID with which I can possibly sign into my iPad mini, but I'm afraid that the apps that were bought with his apple ID will be gone, pictures gone, notes etc. Is that what happens? Also, do I just have to delete my apps by hand from his new iPad? (I'm also scared to do this because I'm afraid they'd be gone on both).
Sorry for such a complicated story, but maybe there are some Apple geeks out there who can help me sort this device mess out.

Is it shady for my fiancé to have two cell phones?

So my fiancé had a Samsung Note (older version) that had a lot of issues. For his bday last year I bought him the newest iPhone. I thought he would do away with his Samsung since it was no longer serviced but he continued to carry it around. I asked him several weeks later why and he said because he had a lot of info and apps he used. It's been almost a year and he is still carrying it. To work, running errands, the bathroom, everywhere. He had everything synced over to his iPhone so I've wondered why he still carries it. Now, he just moved over to my phone plan about a month ago. When I paid our bill last week I was curious and went through his call logs. I found he called a Tracfone customer care line (the ATT log identified it as Tracfone). I called it myself to see what it was and it was to reload a tracfone account. So now I'm really questioning why he is carrying his old phone, and if he does have it hooked up to service, why would he not tell me? As I said, we just synced our phone plan so I can only see logs for the last month. I don't know how often he makes calls to Tracfone. I want to confront him but I want more evidence so that he can't try and lie his way out of it. Am I being a crazy fiancé/girlfriend or is this suspicious to you? We've been together 2 years, we live together and i had no suspicion of cheating but now I really wonder. What are your thoughts?
