You should to contact the seller and ask him to remove this iPhone from his list of devices. Otherwise, your iPhone will be a useless brick. If you do not have the contact of the previous owner ask for refund.

There may be another recourse if you cannot contact the original owner or get the
Apple ID and ownership issues resolved; providing you bought in good faith, the
product from a business, and it turns out you cannot tell if the item was legal or not
for the business to resell, they should give your money back & accept it as a return.
You should check into the legality of this thinking, in your country, as consumer law
may protect you from misrepresentation or unfitness of merchantability, in fact. Each
region or country has its own laws that should protect retail buyers, especially from
second-hand stores or pawn shops. However the results may vary by jurisdiction.
