Then tell him you need to return the phones for a refund.
The carrier locked phone you might be able to resolve if you know which carrier it is locked to (Only the carrier can remove the lock). But the activation lock cannot be removed without the associated apple ID owner - and that phone will be useless to you until it is removed.
If it is simlocked (carrier locked)

That was a reckless purchase and neither we, just users like you, nor Apple can help you, sorry.
iPhone 8: only the carrier whom that iPhone is locked to can unlock it, if your are eligible. See also this support article:--> How to unlock your iPhone for use with a different carrier - Apple Support
iPhone 6s: Without knowing the credentials that were used to activate it, that device is useless to you.
