Return it.
It wasn't properly prepared for resale. That brings into doubt whether it was actually "refurbished" and whether the reseller is actually authorized by Apple.
I think this is the right answer. The phone truly wasn't properly prepared for a new user. Apple won't likely touch it and it should be returned.

Then my guess is the device really wasn't appropriately cleared from the previous Apple Account which was on the phone. You can contact Apple, but I'm not sure they can help you. How long have you owned the phone?
Did you buy this phone used?
