We only are users of Apple products. Nobody in this forum can help you. Only person that "activation lock" belongs to can remove it. You got a "brick," it is useless now.

How do you know? That clue will help the authorities return it to its rightful owner. You can never use it.

It is still useless. You cannot use it if previous owner don't remove "activation lock!"

You don’t remove activation lock.

The phone is useless to you.

Turn it into the police.

Activation lock can not be bypassed. If the previous owner can not, or will not remove the lock, the device is useless to you.
