Iphone restore

My phone was recently stolen and I am trying to restore my phone onto a new phone. However once I have correctly input my appleid and password a random email address is appearing... Is this normal?

iPhone 6s, iOS 9.3.4

Is the "new" phone really new (bought from an authorized Apple seller) or is it second hand? If it is a second hand phone, you may have run into activation lock:

If that is the case, there is nothing you can do - the phone is useless to you or anyone else if you can't contact the previous owner and have them remove the activation lock. Try to get a refund from where you bought it or dispose of it properly.
