Accidentally bought stolen iPhone?
I bought an iPhone (somewhat sketchily) from some kid I know. I put my SIM card in, all was well… Around 24 hours later, everything stops working and my service is apparently shut off. After taking out my SIM, putting in into a different phone, looking everything up… It all seems like the phone was stolen and therefore shut off. I'm bringing it back to AT&T in the morning, but will I still be "in trouble" regardless of the fact that I'm bringing it back in?
Added (1). @~!~ They actually disconnected my service entirely, is what I meant. I want to take it back so I'm not blamed for stealing something I did not steal. I'm just concerned as to whether I'm still liable even though I wasn't aware it was stolen when I received it
If you tell the truth you will be fine
They'll take the phone from you and will not replace you or anything. You didn't buy the phone from them so you might be in trouble if you take it to them. Keep the phone and get it unblocked and you can use on AT&T again. Mail this person (arghyle@rocketmail.com) who can help you remove the block.
Report that kid to the police. People like that should have never, never been allowed to get away with it and put you into such a situation. Make the kid talk to AT&T about what happened (whilst being watched by cops) and hopefully they will reconnect your service.
The kid? Probably a fine or expulsion.
- What Do I do if I accidentally bought something on a game? I have a iPhone and I was playing a game called ninja bike race ( or something like that) and I was looking in the store and it said unlock all for 49.99 and I accidentally pressed yes and I already had my iTunes password typed in and I purchased it. How do I get my money back?

- I have a stolen iPhone 5c but I didn't know it was stolen? I bought an iPhone and checked the imei and I found out it was stolen. I can't use it yet because it is stuck in the beginning where it says " please insert a sim card, SIM required" I just want to use it as an iPod since I got it for a good cheap price. It is a sprint phone, and also if I take it to Apple or Sprint will they take the phone away? I didn't know it was stolen and I don't want to get blamed or end up losing money. The iPhone was restored already.
- I bought an iPhone that s stolen will jailbreaking fix it? I purchased an iPhone 4 off amazon.com. When I received it, it was reported stolen and I couldn't activate it. I can't get a refund. I spent $300 on it and now I can't use it. My brother said he could jailbreak it but he is not sure if that will solve any of my problems.
