This is a volunteer forum.

if you bought a used iPhone from a private seller you will need that seller to follow these directions before you can use it

What to do before you sell, give away, or trade in your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support


if the seller is not available to do that you need to return the phone for a refund or contact law enforcement. Apple can not assist with private sales.
