It appears that, unfortunately, you got scammed. There is no way to remove the activation lock without the requested credentials when you faced the Activation Lock. Continue to contact the seller for that information and if that is no longer possible then check whether you can return the iPhone for a refund through the app (I know eBay provides such protection).
