You've been scammed. Seller got a discounted or free phone on contract, but sold it to you without seeing out his contract. Very common scam, there's nothing much you can do aside from trying to get a return/refund but that's probably unlikely - gone with the wind. Maybe small claims, but you'll have to track seller down.

Shit that really sucks. I will try to get a refund. Thanks man. How do I avoid stuff like this in the future? I guess I could just use a Tracfone plan but that would suck.

That's the risk with private sales, I'd buy from verified sources with a firm guarantee - from reputable store fronts, or Amazon refurb etc. Might cost slightly more but can be cheaper.
