Ugh. I bought an old phone off of eBay, I did my due diligence and everything seemed above board, but old mate's been fucking me around for the last week and a half. It finally arrived today and it's FRP locked
Edit: with the help of a youtube video, I managed to figure it out. I mean, looked dodgy as fuck, I probably have more malwares than there were variants of covid, but I got it sorted

doesn't work unfortunately, I've spent the last few hours trying and every suggestion I can find has either been patched, or is trying to sell me some dodgy program
Dispute it on eBay. Include photos.
I did manage to figure out how to remove it, and it was a decentish deal so I'm not sure I will, but thanks
