I bought a iPhone 8 from Gumtree several months ago, second hand. The seller seemed like a decent guy, giving me extra bits with the phone and said let him know if I have any issues. Since then I moved house, lost his details, but no big deal right?
On Friday I phoned EE as I was getting 'No Service' on the phone. After lots of pissing about turning it off and on, changing sim cards etc etc, they finally told me the phone has been reported stolen and now it's useless. Surely there are ways around this? No shop will touch it. Online IMEI number checkers are saying it's NOT blacklisted. How do I know EE aren't just saying this to make me buy a new phone? And why would a guy report it stolen so long after selling it?
So fucked off right now.
