Bought an iphone from someone should I be worried about them reporting it stolen now?
Bought an iphone the other day from someone. As far as I can tell their story checks out. The phone I bought was new it was a replacement phone. I've looked up imei and everything is good with it. Looks like it's still under apples one year warranty for a week. I tend to worry a lot as is. So I'm wondering if I should be worried about them reporting it stolen or anything that would make my phone not work anymore
I don't see why they would do that & even if they did you'd have some record (I hope) in order to trace it back to him/her to be held liable.
They could report it stolen. Next time:
Meet your seller at the phone store and have them verify it's not stolen. Then have the phone transferred into your name while the seller is still there. After that they can't report it stolen.
- What is the process for reporting a person who sold me something stolen in CA? A person sold me a stolen iphone in California. I looked up his instagram account with his phone number and now I have his name, his phone number, and a record of text messages regarding the transaction. Do I just show up to the police department to report this person?
- Sold iPhone 4 but now worried about whether the data can be accessed? My boyfriend just sold his old iphone 4 to a friend, and instead of wiping it out by going to settings -> General -> Reset -> Erase all content and settings, he just manually deleted all the pictures, apps, web history etc. He also left the password lock on and told his friend what the code was. Is there a possibility of his friend being able to recover what was on his phone? Or was his manually erasing everything good enough to ensure that his data and stuff won't be accessible
- Reporting iphone as lost, selling it, consequences? A friend of mine just bought the iphone 4s and wanted to know if she reported it as lost and sold it to someone who wanted to activate it, what would happen. She has insurance and was thinking she would get a new iphone, but what would happen to the one sold if it was activated at verizon? Would verizon realize it was the lost phone?
