Need help about Samsung Galaxy Note 4 that I bought online

I bought a Note 4 online, in the description the seller said the phone was fully paid off but I'm a bit worried about that phone as I need to sell my Note 3 to compensate my expenses and start using the Note 4. I have attached a picture of the seller's bill which he gave me as proof of full payment and a screenshot of website (swappa) known for checking IMEI.

When I checked with that website there is what I got:
ESN
Blacklisted Not Indicated
This device does not appear to be globally blacklisted.
Financed Not Indicated

Hi B.Diddy, the receipt states the phone has been paid at $487 with t-mobile while the phone costs $700 on t-mobile website so I'm worried because I don't want a phone with contract which still being financed and once the owner stops the payment it will be blacklisted

Check with TMobile - bring the phone into a TMobile store and bring the paperwork from the seller with you. If they don't show it being paid off, ask the seller for a statement from him that it was paid off, signed and notarized, or a refund with prepaid (he pays) shipping back to him.

Almost all phones sold on Swappa are as claimed. They're pretty tough on people who lie.
