Activation Lock is an anti-theft mechanism that you cannot bypass.
Unless you, or the seller, can get the owner to whom the phone is locked to help, the phone will remain a brick. You can try to get your money back from the seller – but don't be too surprised if they block you, fail to respond, or "disappear."
