Return the phone for a refund. The phone is useless. Activation Lock can only be removed by the person who originally set up the phone using their Apple ID and Password.
Never buy a used phone unless you know the person who originally owned the phone.
You can't; it's an anti-theft measure. Ask the people running the website you bought it through for a refund.
