If the seller has disappeared and as is all too common, so no unlock and no refund, then you got scammed.
Activation Lock is intended as a theft deterrent, and is intentionally difficult to bypass.
This iPhone is indistinguishable from a lost or stolen iPhone, if not actually lost or stolen.
Without the assistance of the owner (owner as differentiated from seller) of this iPhone, or without proof of ownership sufficient to convince Apple, this iPhone is now and will forever remain a brick.

If you mean activation lock, only the person who’s account is shown can unlock the device.
