Hello ~ Take a look here:

Activation Lock for iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support

You will have to contact the person who’s Apple ID is associated with the iPhone to unlock it. We cannot help and neither can Apple. Sorry:(

Toss it in the recycle bin and write this off as a life lesson.

You will never be able to use it again.

There is no way to bypass the activation lock.

You bought a phone which you will never be able to use again. Either get your money back or recycle the phone. Apple will NOT help you. We cannot help you. If the person you bought the phone from cannot remove Activation Lock, the phone is utterly, completely useless.
