Should i send a stranger my iphone's imei number?

Someone on cl is asking for my imei. They are interested in my phone what should i do?

If you are trying to sell a phone give it to them. I would give it to them. They just want to check to make sure that the phone is not black listed because it is stolen or have a huge outstanding bill.

If you are still not sure ask them what they need the number for. If they say that they want to make sure it is not stolen or you have a huge bill on the phone. Then give them the number.

No, you shouldn't. Because he may block your phone. So don't give it to an unknown person.

  • What is the IMEI number used for on an iPhone and/or any phone? Just found it in my settings and I don't know what it's for. Could someone please tell me most of the ways it could be used?
  • What does it mean if a stranger takes pictures of you? So I was at mall today & I was eating at the good court & I noticed this guy was looking at me like A LOT. So I just ignored him & then I glanced at him to see if he was still staring at me & he had his iphone up & pointed directly at me & he was pressing the screen like 5 times then he looked at me & when he saw I was looking at him he smiled & then left. I don't know what he was doing but I hope he isn't a phsycopath. What does that mean?
