You're in a tough spot then. You've run into Activation Lock, an iOS 7 security feature designed to prevent activation of lost and stolen iDevices without the original owner's Apple ID credentials.


You can read more about it, and the steps needed for the owner to free ethe device so you can activate it. If the seller is unwilling or unable, you have probably purchased a lost or stolen device and you should report it to the police immediately.
