See Activation Lock for iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support. As given:


If you buy a device that's still linked to a previous owner's account, contact them as soon as possible and ask them to erase the device and remove it from their account. Learn how to remove a device from a previous owner's account.


If you're not able to do this then you have likely been scammed.
