Ask Craigslist for a refund, or if you suspect that the iPhone was lost or stolen, contact the police.

You won't be able to activate or use that iPhone; Apple won't unlock it for you.

Did you get the proof of purchase from the seller? If you did so you can call Apple and ask them if they can unlock it for you. If the device is owned by a company the companys name will have to be written on the proof of purchase and you will need to speak with Apples enterprise department in Ireland (Call Apple and they will transfer you to them). If Apple is able to remove the activation lock all you have to do is restore device by doing recovery mode with a computer that has iTunes installed. If the device is Lost Mode Apple won't have a chance of removing the activation lock!
