If your phone says it is ACTIVATION LOCKED, unless you know the Apple ID and Password used to set up that phone, you have purchased a useless device. If you can't reach the owner who the phone is locked to, you can do nothing with the phone. Apple will not help you. We cannot help you. Either find the previous owner, or get your money back, or recycle the phone.
