It is common for crooked sellers to jailbreak stolen phones in such a way as to make them look normal snd you can "sign in" but the first update or restore brings out the original owner's credentials. You have been duped.
You have a device that is activation locked. There lies the problem. He will have to recover his Apple ID and password and remove the device from Find my...

If they are unable to remove the phone from Find my.., one option (assuming you no longer need/want the phone) is to physically destroy it. That's one way of "erasing" your data.
You need to find a relative or friend with a computer. You can also contact Apple Support. If you’re in the US, please call 1-800-MY-APPLE, or outside the US, consult the support articles below. In Canada, call 1-800-263-3394.

It almost always works, see the link from Jeff, or
on your iPhone.This always works if you follow the instructions.
Well, i did it with a computer. And my device is successfully got locked by it's previous owner (I brought it from a guy). I tried to contact with him. And he said that he can't remember his apple id nor the password. After trying with the last passcode several times, the passcode option got disabled too. The last apple id I've signed in on that device is not eligible for activating the device (they asks for the one which was used to set the device up once). Im helpless now.
Your options are limited and the iPhone will be a problem until it is replaced. Personally I’d buy another iPhone and move on. Apple has refurbished models available in most markets in their online refurbished store.

What should I do now? I think you are right. Someone is suggesting me to do "bypass" process. But i don't know if it's legal or not.
