I tried to sell my iphone online and one user asked if he can login using his apple id password. I unfortunately allowed them, and now they blocked me out of my telephone and demanding a ransom . What should I do to get it back?

Yes, you had been scammed. Too late now, but NEVER log out of your Apple ID, and then, let someone else log in with theirs. This removed activation lock (Apple's anti-theft measure) from the phone, and they now "own" it.
I strongly suggest that you contact your local law enforcement agency as this is a crime and let them assist you with getting your phone back ... but, even if you do, and they don't remove their Apple ID from it, it will be useless to you. No one here, nor Apple can help you with this matter.
