Not exactly true. I activated iPhone 5 s verizon via web. I am in Florida and iPhone 5s being activated was in California.
You can activated verizon iPhone over web as long as acct owner can do it.
The issue is it has to through Verizon servers. But OP is in India so verizon can't verify.
I saw that above screen a few times when I ordered my upgraded iphone from AT&T and received by mail.
Not sure about verizons verification or if you can bypass that screen by using their website.
Either way the seller is not willing to help him so he's out of luck.
