Bought a lost or stolen iPhone 4S?
Well my moms current phone is acting up and her contract wasn't up yet so I put a ad on Craigslist for a shattered iPhone. Because I know how to replace the screen. I met up with a guy and he brought out the phone and took the number lock off. He came out with a brand new iPhone asking if I knew how to jailbreak it. At the time I was thinking he got tired of the broken one and bought a new one. Well I didn't think that he was crooked and broke his and reported it stolen so he could get a new one.
I replaced the screen and gave it to my mom. When she went to activate it they said they couldn't because it was reported lost or stolen. It's completely useless now, what are my options. Why turn it in where he would get it back? I still have the guys number. I'm screwed. I worked hard on that phone for nothing.
The best way is to return it to the police and act as a responsible citizen… Also if it won't get you in too much trouble, give them the details of the guy (phone no., looks etc.) from whome you bought it. You might get some reward or fall into more trouble depending on the law enforcement mecanism in your country and how the police looks at your case… Easier way… Throw it away or use it as a music player and video player… Cheers…
What iphone?
i have a few i'm selling or trading.email me to work something out.
- Why should I do. I bought a iPhone on craigslist but it's stolen? I was looking for a 4s and I searched on craigslist. I bought one from a guy on craigslist who apparently comes to my school but I don't know his name and my school is pretty big. I took it home put the Meid number onto a website. It told me that it was stolen. Why should I do?
- If I bought a stolen/lost iPhone can? If I bought a stolen/lost iPhone can I use it, like activate it as my cellphone? Or will it come up stolen or something and I won't be able to use it?
- I've bought a stolen iphone So a few weeks ago my beloved iphone was stolen. Being the iphone lover i'm, i couldnt last a week without it so i was desperate enough to get on ebay and purchase one. Today i got my iphone, chucked my sim in there but there was no signal, so popped down to my local vodafone for them to tell me it was reported stolen! What do i do now! Have i essentially just lost £735?
- 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.
