Did you purchase a used iPhone from someone and it came Activation Locked? Return it for refund if you did. You most assuredly won't be in possession of the original purchase receipt, which shows the serial number of the phone on it. Without that, Apple will not unlock the phone for you and only the person who did lock the phone can remove the lock.

If the phone is in Lost Mode (“Locked to Owner”), indicating that the owner has marked it as lost or stolen, Apple will not remove the Activation Lock even if you have the original purchase receipt.
