Q: How do I find out if I bought a stolen MacBook Pro?

I was locked out of a MBP I bought last week after using it for just a few hours. There's a Activation Lock and a Firmware password that neither I know or the seller. This happened after I allowed a piece of software to be installed to "configure my settings" or something along those lines. Next I noticed that there was a Profile added that I didn't recognize (I didn't even know that icon existed in System Preferences). There was no way to delete the Profile and 5 minutes later the computer shut down on its own. Upon reboot it asked for the 6 digit Activation Lock Pin and when I try to go into Recovery Mode it asks for the Firmware password. What do I do from here?

MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Mid 2015), OS X El Capitan (10.11.3)
