Q: PLEASE HELP!!

Sorry, there is no way to bypass Activation Lock. If you can not contact the original owner, the phones are useless to you.

There's no help, you got scam.

You cannot bypass Activation Lock without the previous owner Apple ID and password.

Before you part your money again, read and inform yourself on what the seller has to do.

If they don't, walk away:

What to do before selling or giving away your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support

In addition to the fine information you have already been provided, you can use this weblink from Apple to check the status of Activation Lock on a device before you part with more of your money as well. https://www.icloud.com/activationlock/

You need to try to contact the original owner, then tell them to follow these directions to erase the device, thus, turning off activation lock: Do you see the apple ID email listed on the phone? send an email to that account telling them about the problem and to click on the link below.

1. Email this to him/her: iCloud.com/find. Then login.

2. click on the devices that he/she sold to you

3. click actions, then "Erase iPhone."

That helped me!

you cant because even i experienced the same thing.  But fortunately i sold that device back to local store

If the person that sold you the device is not the original owner and they cannot put you in contact with the owner that put the lock on the phone, then demand a refund. The device is useless to you and you will never be able to activate it. There is no bypass to Activation Lock, and no one here can help and Apple will not help you either.
