If you are certain it was stolen, report it to your local police right away. Otherwise you could be held criminally liable as a possessor of stolen property. As to the purchase itself, if you used Facebook's Checkout to pay for the device, you can apply for resolution through Facebook's Purchase Protection coverage:

Otherwise I'm afraid that you've been scammed and are out of luck. This is one of the number of negative consequence that can arise when you buy any technology sight-unseen.


Regards.
