I’m afraid that only the person who set up the lock can unlock it. Ask for a refund. I’m glad the iPhone worked for you but please read they the article below for advice on buying used devices. I’ve copied some pertinent advice below.

If you can see the device in person ask the seller to turn it on for you. If it doesn't open to the Hello Page or pairing page for Apple Watch, get up and move along.
