Is there any way to remove the icloud lock if you don't know the previous owner?
I bought an iPhone 6 plus online and it has an icloud lock. Is there any way to remove the lock without knowing the previous owners Apple ID?
iPhone 6 Plus, iOS 12

You not only have to know the previous owner' Apple ID but also his/her password. Send that iPhone back to the seller and demand a refund. Ask the seller to provide the credentials to you if s/he has it. If not then get your money back.
