Return it to the person who sold it to you.  They would need the device and their T-Mobile account to meet all of the SIM Unlock Policy requirements and then would need to request the SIM unlock from T-Mobile.  Because it's Apple, that can take up to and Sometes longer than 3 weeks.

File a complaint with the service you purchased it from him through.  T-Mobile can't help you unlock it.

I didn't buy it through any service, I gave him the cash and he gave me the cell phone, so I can't unlock it anymore? I try to contact him and he doesn't answer me

Unfortunately there's nothing anyone can do to help you except the person who sold you the phone.

He blocked me from everywhere and I cannot contact him, I have his number and his networks but he blocked me, he gave me the cell phone in a box of an iPhone 15 plus that he had bought with all his data, I believed everything he said. He told me, I'm sad, I didn't think that an American could scam a Latin American like that, I'm sad for my money.

Buy one from your carrier or a local store to you next time.
