How can I get an iPhone unlocked that I bought from someone I can’t get in contact with after purchase

I recently purchased a used iPhone 13 that is locked … it says to get ahold of previous owner and have them remove the phone from their iCloud because they have used find my phone . How can I get past that if I can’t get ahold of the previous owner to have them remove it ?

Return the phone for a refund. It is likely stolen. The phone is useless unless the original owner removes the lock on the phone.
