1 / 8
ILLUSTRATIVE STORY
A common-risk example—not a customer testimonial.
The seller posts sharp photos, a box and a clean IMEI screenshot. The price is attractive but not unbelievable.

RED FLAG
The real phone identity stays hidden.
They say the screenshot is enough and refuse to show the IMEI inside Settings before the meeting.

IDENTITY MISMATCH
The clean result belongs to another IMEI.
The buyer dials *#06# on the physical phone and sees a different number from the screenshot and box photo.

GOOD DECISION
No payment has been sent yet.
Instead of accepting an excuse, the buyer keeps control of the decision and verifies the actual device.

DO NOT MISS IMEI 2
One phone may present two cellular identities.
Record IMEI 1 and IMEI 2 from the device. Do not let the seller choose only the number you see.

HANDOVER CHECKLIST
Phone, box, invoice and report should agree.
A mismatch does not prove one specific cause, but it is enough reason to stop and investigate.

PROTECT YOUR MONEY
Avoid irreversible payment under pressure.
Use the marketplace payment flow or another protected method and keep the seller conversation and receipt.

YOUR NEXT STEP
A screenshot is not the device.
Read the IMEI from the phone, identify its model and check its current blacklist status before you pay.
