My only advice is... now isn't the time to restore your device.
It doesn't matter if your device is new or if you restored an old model. Whatever it is, we're all infected. At the Apple Store, Genius told me, we all carry it. TWD
Or don't use 10 until it's stable enough to use as a daily driver. Clearly we are all beta testers on this unfinished and buggy version of iOS.
Lol - what makes you think this is an iOS 10 issue at all? Looks like a device cloning or compromised AppleID problem to me, and that happens because people want to leverage illegal sales of the latest, fanciest product. It doesn't indicate an "unfinished and buggy version".
Sure ALL problems could be down to iOS10 but many don't look like it.
Lol okay... Go read the iOS 10 forum where it's all complaints about bugs.

The flaw is where you jump from "there are iOS10 problems" (which clearly there are), to "so all problems are iOS10 problems". Just because someone in China is only now cloning IMEA numbers or hacking AppleID's doesn't make THIS problem an iOS10 issue. It maybe much wider than that - after all there are reports of 5S's having the problem and it being triggered by an update/reset/restore process, of which the overwhelming majority at the moment just happen to involve iOS10 - but that doesn't mean the cause is iOS10 itself. TBH I'd prefer if it were as then a <simple> iOS update and we would all be safe again but that may not be the case...

So a year ago was on iOS9?
Happened to me on 8.4.1 on my 6 plus and then 9.3.2 on my 6s. And both times Apple said my phone showed on China Mobile.
In that case, It never happened before todays poop, so it has to be this new toilet paper I am using..
This issue has been around awhile. It's just getting more widespread. It happened to me on my 6 plus on 8.4.1 and my 6s on 9.3.2. So don't say it's never happened before iOS 10. About both times mine happened from somebody in China.
This is caused by Chinese hackers changing serial numbers on locked devices and apparently they used your serial number. So when you try to restore your iPhone it will be locked to someone else's Apple ID (in China).
Your Apple ID is not hacked. The hackers just randomly picked your phone's serial number when they changed it on another device.
