Activation Lock is intended as a theft deterrent, and a deterrent that was easy to bypass wouldn't be a deterrent.
You need the Apple ID and credentials, or proof of original purchase and matching photo ID, or the lock cannot be removed.
Assuming the seller has disappeared as is typical for these cases, you got scammed. Recycle the iPhone.
If the seller didn't disappear, then contact them and have them use iCloud to remove the Activation Lock. See > What to do before you sell, give away, or trade in your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
Nobody here can help you release Activation Lock, and Apple won't help you release the lock without sufficient documentation. Which you don't have here.
