That is what happens when you buy an iPhone which is refurbished and it wasn't refurbished by Apple. If you open Settings > General > About > Model - if it starts with a number like 3 or 5, it's a refurbished iPhone and has no warranty with Apple, so there is nothing to fix.

Your sales receipt is needed for Apple’s Limited Warranty, AppleCare Protection Plan, and AppleCare+ validation, so be sure to keep it in a safe place. Apple’s Limited Warranty is the same whether or not you register.
