I bought a phone off the streets didn’t know it wasn’t Locked as it was on opening setup screen upon buying didn’t think anything of it. Start setting up phone it has activation Lock.. So cut the chase I don’t know who it was or who I bought it from what can be done or did I get screwed out of my money and have a phone can’t do anything with
iPhone 7 Plus
I'm sorry, but there is nothing whatever you can do. Without being to contact the person who set the lock (who in any case probably isn't the person who sold you the phone, which may well have been stolen) there is absolutely no way you can bypass the lock. Apple won't unlock it for you, and the websites which offer to do so for a fee can't unlock it - these are scams. I'm afraid this is a risk you run by buying a phone from a stranger.
