    I purchased a perfect condition IPhone 5 off a man on DoneDeal. He showed me it and it worked perfect, he said he took his sim out and all I had to do was put mine in it which I believed, stupidly.
    When I got home I restored it but now it's asking me to put in someone's iCloud account. I rang and texted the guy and he isn't replying or answering. Now I suspect that the IPhone was robbed and have no idea what to do now €350 down.
    Any help will be greatly appreciated and rewarded if leads to IPhone working. Regards Diarmuid

    If the IMEI is not on the back, at the dialpad type: *#06#
