You have run into the Activation Lock. You will need the previous owner’s credentials (Apple ID and Password) to remove the Activation Lock. Without that information that iPhone will be useless to you. No one here will be able to help you. Apple cannot help you.

My recommendation is that you return that iPhone and try and get your money back.
