Narrative:
Upon arrival; a ramp agent approached me in the jetway and showed me a picture of a cargo shipment that had just been taken off the plane. The box was labeled with stickers indicating lithium ion batteries inside; was explicitly labeled 'cargo aircraft only; forbidden in passenger aircraft.' a standard checked bag tag was attached to the box. It also had a hazmat code sticker reading un 3480. We were never made aware of the cargo being on board and received a 'no dangerous goods planned' message during initial preflight.
