Questionable iPhone Activation
I have been chatting with a young lady in Thailand. She tells me she was gifted an iPhone for her birthday and needs a $250 iTunes card to activate her phone. When I talked to Apple technical support, they told me an iTunes card was not required to activate her phone. If you look at the picture below, she tells me this is a picture of what her phone reads. AT&T is also mentioned, but does AT&T even have a presence in Thailand? I am questioning all this. Could this be a scam?

That is a scam.
Sounds like the whole thing is a scam.
That phone is not in Thailand, as it is currently seeing an AT&T signal.
AT&T doesn't accept payment in iTunes gift cards to start an account and thus activate the phone on it.
iTunes gifts cards are a great way to scam people because once redeemed the money is gone and basically untraceable.
