Locked icloud problem

[MichaelaziZ]

Hi, I have bought an used iphone 4s from a buyer on ebay and after receiving the phone i tried turning it on and it asked for an apple id and password(which obviously i don't have) , i tried everything till now, tried calling apple proving that i bought it from ebay, Nothing, tried calling the buyer on ebay to ask for the info and Nothing, so, any ways to get past this screen to get my phone up and running? i mean, i can't have just wasted 300$

It's almost certainly a stolen phone. Contact the police, and they may be able to get your money back from the seller.

It's very unlikely that we can do anything to unlock it.

been thinking about that actually but I'm saving it as a last resort
