I came across a popular Instagram account that claimed they were paying people to review a testing iOS app. I made the mistake of signing in with my Apple ID on my phone, and now they're threatening to lock it. I'm stuck and can't sign out because I don't have the Apple ID password. I really need help!

You should contact Apple Support immediately to help reset your account info. They'll guide you on what to do next.
It's hard to believe you'd fall for that! But hey, just try to stay calm and don't give them any money! Contacting Apple is your best bet.
Honestly, you shouldn't pay them anything. If you go to an Apple Store or contact support, they might help you remove the Apple ID and regain control of your phone!
If you're the original owner of the phone, you can factory reset it using iTunes and then ask Apple for help removing the activation lock with your receipt!
But what if I can't access my phone anymore?
