Have you Purchased this Yet?

Actually, you should erase it, prior to buying it (as a way to avoid being scammed). If they do not log out of iCloud on it, then it is useless to you. So, return it to the seller, and have the seller use this site: What to do Before you Sell, Give Away, or Trade in your Mac - Apple Support. They should have known better.
