I'd call Apple and see if they can tell from the the serial number, which they can get if they do a screen share with you. Otherwise you will have to find out what the carrier was, and possibly get the seller to give their permission to have it unlocked. Sadly, it could be that the seller simply lied. But, call Apple Accessibility: 877-204-3930 and see what they can sort out.
