Sorry to say but this is one of the problems with purchasing used devices. Unless you can remove the account from the phone which is not possible without the password, you have an expensive paperweight.

As @Pugs1957 says
If you used a credit card, you can contact the bank and report the issue
You might be able to do a section 75 claim back, if you are in the UK
Depends on how you paid really.
But sadly if you cannot contact the seller and if you can't raise the issue on market place. Unfortunately there's not much you can do

You can force turn it off the enter recovery mode and reset the device completely

If you think this would help ask me for further details

[Pugs1957]

FRP will prevent that unfortunately.

Oh @Samanth lynn I feel for you if you've been scammed.

Unfortunately your not alone with being potentially caught up with a person selling a phone and then reporting it as lost or stolen for an insurance claim.

If possible try to contact the seller to see if they'll help especially if this has been an innocent error.

If you paid by card then as suggested see if your card issuer can help.

Sadly this has the potential to be an expensive learning curve too.

I wish you all the best.
