That's bad.
If that iPhone has "activation lock" (an anti-theft measure), neither we, just users like you, nor Apple can help you, sorry, unless you are the original owner and you still have the proof of purchase (receipt/invoice reporting your device’s IMEI or Serial Number). Should be this case, start your request using this link: https://al-support.apple.com/#/additional-support
Shouldn’t be this case, activation lock can be removed only by the previous owner, with the credentials that were used to activate that iPhone/iPad. Without those credentials, that device is useless to you.

if he don't know his appleID
Demand your money back.
The phone works fine it just has that previous owners account and I really don’t Evan know how I found it
First time you need to reset it the phone will be lost. You will not have access to any iCloud assets. The previous owner may disable it or remotely erase it without notice.
Enjoy.
