Is there any Danger in Sharing your IMEI Number off your Phone?

I'm selling my old iPhone as it's water damaged and just selling it for parts. Someone has requested to buy it and asked for the IMEI number. Just wondering if there's any danger in sharing this only through private message and also wondering why he would want it if the phone is broken.

Of course their is… Don't do it

Yes ya mad

No. They likely just want to check to make sure it is clean. Theoretically they could try to clone it but there's no reason to do such thing.
