Hi,
i'm going to purchase the SII from a friend of mine.
The problem is that this friend of mine is not such a good guy P) and there's the possibility that this phone was stolen.
If so, is there the possibility that someone (maybe the precedent owner or Samsung itself) lock the phone with imei-code?
Is possibly to use this phone with no worries?
Thx (sallusti)

Simple answer do not buy the phone then if you think it's stolen and you won't get anyone here telling you to break the law in accepting stolen goods.

I agree,
Also if the original owner blocks the imei your phone will be useless unless you move to another country:/

Yes. If reported, the phone will be internationally blocked using the imei code.
In any case, don't support this guys bad behaviour. You pay him and he'll do it again. If you buy it, you're scum like him. I've been mugged and beaten up. Absolutely horrible.

right!
but what if the phone have no precedent owner?
what if the phone (many phones) fell down from a delivery truck?
could Samsung block the phone with imei? Does Samsung know imei of each products?
Like everyone else says, dont buy it if you think its stolen. You could always ask him if you can check if the phone has been reported stolen If he seems reluctant then you have your answer

No matter what the reason or how they where obtained you would still be accepting stolen goods and yes Samsung could work out the shipment which was stolen and block every imei number rendering your phone useless.
Seriously dude don't waste your money on stolen goods do the right thing and buy legit.
If however you do go down this road then NO ONE will help you if your imei gets blocked at a future date as it's highly illegal to even try to change it.

Is it really? I have friends that use blocked phones in Lithuania that come from the uk, and I know guys in America using uk blocked phones.. I don't think a true international imei database will ever work sadly it should be international but its a fail:/

Anyone in the Toronto area (GTA) want to do a group buy of 3 or more for $600 a peice or less???
It says buy 3 at $1800 = $600. If we can get more people, we could get one for $500 each probably.
Let me know. Im down for 1.
buy from where / whom? which supplier?
i'll definitely want a 64GB version, but they are not due out until later this year
Sounds sketchier than draw something.

Wow, good luck with that purchase. I'm definitely interested if you actually receive the real thing at that price--it seems too good to be true.

Had this happen to our account before with Iphone 4s's of all things
(would'nt have minded so much if they where hocking something Decent )
Will see what happens. Thankfully I am covered by Paypal.
I almost purchased 4 phones from THIS GUY at $600 a piece (at least 2 he said)... but I purchased more than 3 I would get "big discount" ....
So totals were $1,800.00 .. So I decided to make an IP trace. He is supposed to be in Texas, but it returned from yahoo servers in CA.
98.139.212.153
98.139.215.250
216.86.201.19
Item was shipping from the "UK"... yeah right. Im pretty sure this account is genuine, but got hacked and they are using it for this kindda sh*t.
Oh, something else,.. the email address he is using was apparently made may 9th... BEWARE!
Hi
I saw this same listing and enquired. I received the exact same reply from Elise (no taxes etc) and I followed up with some questions because it all seemed too good to be true and I didn't think the 64GB was even available until after the 16GB had been out a while. She replied saying her business partner who is also her brother works for Samsung, hence the bulk buying they are able to do. When I asked about the closed listing (it ended during our E-mail correspondence) she said she had to close the listing because she was receiving too many requests. She did say it'd all go through eBay still, so that buyer and seller were both protected. I had to reply with details of what I wanted (pebble blue or marble white) plus my address INCLUDING MY EBAY USERNAME. She claimed this was to check my feedback but I think it's so they can generate a convincing spoof E-mail from eBay.
She said I'd receive an invoice from eBay soon and to let her know when I did.
Sounds very fishy! Her English is poor too.
I'll let you know what the eBay E-mail looks like.
Cheers all

Yes mate, I know how you feel. I got straight on to my credit card company this morning & told them to not pay out on this transaction, also contacted Paypal & they told me not to worry as even if the sale has gone through I can still get my money refunded from them. Just annoying, but I suppose its as they say, if the deal looks to good to be true it probably is. Still annoying though.
It's good to know PayPal will cover us in these situations. And it's also sickening to know there are so many ****s like this out there trying to rip people off.
Still no 'E-mail from eBay' to be seen though!
You're exactly right, I myself kept on thinking if it's too good to be true, it probably is, but when it revolves around a sweet piece of kit like the GSIII it's hard not to be intrigued!
And good work on the IP lookup Candanga!

Hello fellow forums users. After getting a bad screen nexus 4, and later selling it. I decided to give the Nexus 4 another chance. I just found a great deal on Ebay for a nexus 4 16GB from a seller that has 64 100% positive feedback. But... there seems to be an issue with the phones imei, the seller says that google disabled the phones. I tried looking on google on anything on the matter but I came up short. Here is a copy of the items description on Ebay... What do you think? is there any way that Google can DISABLE phones like that?? ive never heard of that before with unlocked cell phones.... any help would be greatly apreciated.
Original Ebay item description:
The listing is for BAD ESN Nexus 4 16GB BRAND NEW SEALED IN BOX. I ordered it straight from Google and the package went missing. Google gave me refund right away but the package arrived a few weeks later. I did not want the phones so i wanted to send it back to Google but I was told to keep them since they are disabled anyway. I am thinking the phone is disabled by BAD ESN or IMEI. The phone is still sealed in box and never been opened. I am selling these phones AS IS. ALL SALE IS FINAL and NO RETURN WILL BE ACCEPTED. SHIPPING WORLDWIDE
Yes Google can disable the phone remotely. That phone will not turn on. Spend the extra 25 dollars and buy it from Google play store.

If you buy phone from playstore. They can remotely disable everything. Nexus 4,7,10. As long as you bought it from playstore, don't worry. they
can disable the device in just one second. I would suggest you don't buy it unless google willing to activate the phone. I doubt it.

Hey chill, im not fencing anything. I found the listing on Ebay and since ive never heard of remote disabling I came here to ask as I dont want to throw my $325- away.
Yes Google can disable it and no there is no way anyone can enable it. Its worthless paying that much money. I would suggest to pay a little extra and buy it from Google.
sounds like a tmobile nexus 4 phone ans the account or line is past due or they stopped paying the bill making the phone listed under tmobile as blocked/bad imei

Thanks for your help, i was looking into the matter and all I could find where apps that let you remotely wipe your personal information on the device, but not actually BRICKING it. I went to google's play homepage, and in the returns/refund section I read that when you ask for a replacement phone, the remotely DISABLE the phone buts thats what I dont get. How do they do that? How does that work? will the phone not power on at all? do they block the imei number worldwide? any ideas?

Google has a well known back door into phones and they can pretty much do as they please but have limited their efforts so far to just removing malicious apps from peoples phones.
I would stay away from this phone for if the IMEI is blacklisted as stolen, which is pretty much a worldwide blacklist now, then it cannot be recovered as no carrier anywhere will activate it.
They won't remotely brick it... They'll just have the IMEI blacklisted. It will likely turn on, you just can't activate it anywhere.

I guess the question is whether that's Google bricking it or whether it's just a defective phone. I'd venture to say that it's a bad phone. If Google disables your phone, it's by adding your IMEI as stolen.

It all depends on how you bought it. If you paid cash, you might be out of luck. If you used a credit or debit card, then perhaps your provider offers some kind of refund policy. If it was PayPal, then you can likely get the refund.

Lol sorry guys i probably shouldve added more details..
Ok.. Heres the story... Transaction took place on Craigslist..
So I had a blue color galaxy S3 and didnt like the color, traded it for a new nexus 4.. Nexus 4 was fine, and I was really wanting a titanium S3.. Found the S3 and bought it.. Sold the nexus 4 to a guy for 310.. The nexus 4 was working great until yesterday.. Guy calls me up thinking i sold him a stolen phone.. As far as I knew it was a good phone, i check the imei and it says its been reported stolen, so i offer to give the guy back his money.. Now im stuck with a blacklisted N4.. Need help. Anywhere I can go to revive the phone? Or anywhere I can sell it to? What are my options? Is it possible to flash a ROM or do something when rooted to change the Imei..? At least make it useable because the guy i originally traded with decided to change his number and now im out $310.. whats the best thing to do? I cant go to the cops, they will tell me im associated with the theft, asked tmobile they want to fill out a bull**** report..
is there a way to flash a Rom or something to maybe hide the Imei or something? Use a different carrier? unlock it even though its unlocked?
Or should i get my mini screw drivers and start to disassemble it to sell for parts? Man i feel ****ty doing this.. I mean im so against stolen things and i just hate to deal with it ugh

Buy an N4 with broken screen for cheap and replace the mainboard. Installing other roms won't help you. Or replace the screen with your phones screen. Do wat is the easiest to replace.

You can buy stuff off of CL, but you have to be smart. I've bought dozens of phones off CL (and sold) and was only burned once. I bought an Atrix 4G with a wonky touch screen. Actually, I bought an EVO 4G with a wonky touch screen too but that was just my fault, I showed up to meet the guy a little intoxicated lol. Anyway, when I bought my Nexus 4 (new) I had the guy bring the receipt from Google Play and give it to me. I also asked a lot of questions....

Those are both rather silly remarks.
You're a victim, why would the police be anything but sympathetic to you? And it's not a bs report, it's a report detailing the crime. Maybe they can track the original scammer down with that report. Maybe your insurance co will reimburse you with that report. Don't lose whatever small chance you have by being too lazy to fill out some paperwork.

You sure the dude just didn't "buy" the nexus 4 and then give you back a non working Nexus 4 and you give him his money back. Did the nexus you get back match up with the one you gave to him. Like serials and stuff

If this helps... I'm from Belgium and I bought my phone off someone from England.
Got a pretty good deal too (as it was new)
The catch was that it was blacklisted too...he sent me the reportcard and apparantly that stated that it was only blocked by 2 providers. None of which I am using.
So maybe switching providers could work OR since Belgium has no (or nearly no) providers linked to the phones as they don't come in deals the phone just works, blacklisted or not. So try selling it abroad and buy buy yourself a new one.
I doubt that you can unblock it.
Is it blacklisted by T-mobile or Google? If it is blacklisted by T-mobile it should work on AT&T and it will definitely work overseas.

No it won't as all the major US carriers started reporting to a national blacklist database as of October of 2012.

The database is launched, but the carriers are not sharing IMEI's yet. Bad ESN Verizon phones work on other carriers and blocked T-mobile or AT&T phones will still work on the others network. The thing is, not only does the IMEI have to be entered into the database, but the carrier manually has to apply that to their own database to effectively block it from their network.
And, a blacklisted phone will most definitely work overseas.

Hi everyone! I'm not sure if it's the right place for this kind of thread but I would like to know what you think of this site: kmax-store (dot) com . So basically I want to buy a galaxy S4 and their price is amazing: 500$ for a 16 gb international version + 26$ shipping to Canada. The site doesn't offer a paypal payment method so I'm a little skeptical whether it's a legit site or not. Do you guys know someone who already ordered something from this site and received the item?

That big site is weird, many international lenguages, many products, amazing prices... Western union paiment??? Unable to find a single review over the net... Hum... I'd also like to order an s4 there but I'm worried...
Ok so I heard about this site when I contacted a guy who was selling his galaxy s4 on kijiji for 550$. Unfortunately, he said that he already sold it but told me that he bought it from kmax-store and said that I could also buy one from them... But I don`t really have proof that he really bought it there so I think I'll just wait for someone else to order and make a review of the site or something.
Guess what? Same story here. The same guy told me on kijiji montreal that I can get one at kmax. Got to be scam!!

This is bull$hit ^^
You created your account to confirm that they're not scam?
Ok show us proof/papers from that website.
Just blurr out your name/address and imei number.
Untill someone legit here can confirm that site is safe, i highly recommend to stay away from it.
Yesterday I was going through the checkout process just to see what kind of payment method was available. Once I saw there was no paypal and a weird money transfer to a bank I knew that something was wrong so I didn't pay. Now look what I received today in an e-mail from the store:
"Hello, Every day KMax and Samsung offer to our customers 1 x Samsung Galaxy S3 32GB White. You are the winner for today. To confirm the winning, you must complete your payment for your first order and provide a photo or scan of the bank transfer receipt or Statement.
Please reply to provide more details."
So yeah as Dean said this site is total bull****. Now I feel really bad for those who placed an order there:/
