You can’t find out the IMEI from the serial number. I hope you bought it from someone you know or someone who will stand behind it and that you can contact after the purchase. See this user tip—>The All Too Common SAD Reality of Buying … - Apple Community


You can find the warranty status of the phone from this link—>Check Your Service and Support Coverage - Apple Support


And if you are in the US you can see if the phone was reported stolen—>CTIA Stolen Phone Checker
