    Apple will not help in your situation.

    Could be that the phone was lost or stolen.

    If you can't contact the person your purchased it from contact the police.

    There is absolutely no way to ever unlock an "activation-locked" iPhone.  If you get a run-around from the seller, it is very likely that you have a STOLEN iPhone.  This feature is intended to render a stolen device totally worthless.

     

    Tell everyone you know  ---  stop buying stolen stuff.
