I believed him and reset the phone. Now when I asked for more information from him during the reopening this Iphone he could not give me any apple id that match with his phone, he said I am going to home and bringing all the papers but since then there is no trace of him. What should I do at this moment ?

It might be a better choice to recycle the device.
