I don't think he was referring to you... I think he was trying to say that Admin should make a sticky that people should really check the phone's imei at tmobile store to see if they're blacklisted.

its not new if its "blacklisted" its call buying it used, you would not have this problem if you bought it new.
either way eventually tmobile gonna track you down. keep us updated if it work

i also was scamed i bought a amaze from Clist called Tmobile with imei # and thy said it was good.i used the phone for 3 weeks, then i droped it broke the screen and call insurance to get it replaced thy said the phone was reported lost and will not replace the phone. the insurance company had the phone black listed but tmobile did not.
so now im stuck with a amaze with cracked screen that still works on tmobile but is black listed with insurance.
moral of the story is you have to call tmobile and asurion with the imei # before you buy a phone from someone other then Tmobile

Return it and get your money back. You have been scammed.
It seems that this kind of thing is happening more often since T-mobile started blacklisting phones that are reported list or stolen. Also they are blacklisting phones that have been purchased on a payment plan and the owner terminated the contract and never paid for the phone or the ETF.
Good luck

I personally stopped trading/selling phones on cl because there are just too many kids and immature people to deal with. plus now with all this there is no guarantee that you are getting a quality product. Just contact the person and demand your money back. Tell them you'll take them to small claims court. You have evidence from Tmobile and Ashton that the phones were reported lost/stolen. And you were not aware of that at the point of sale.

One way to protect yourself is checking the database at http://www.checkmend.com/us
Ask the seller the phone IMEI before buying. If the phone is not legit you will never hear from the seller.

Which phones are these ???

Sucks that it's pretty much not remotely safe to buy phones from craigslist anymore. I have been doing it for years and always got the latest and greatest cause some idiot had not idea how much their phone was really worth. But with all this blacklisting now at tmobile, i think i am done with that practice .

Sell them to me ???

If you are a little ***** dont try this at home please hahahahaha

why lie? Asurion can see what you own, and what you've been using. You saying these things encourages others to continue this fraud business. You should be banned for saying something like that.

[Q] Found T-Mobile Galaxy S3

I might be the luckiest person ever. I found a T-Mobile Galaxy S3.
Anyways, can I get in trouble for using the phone? Can T-Mobile somehow track the phone and disable it.
Thanks for your answers.
P.S. The phone has no contact store, so I can't really return it to the owner. The only dialed number is a company.

Go to t mobile store and return it. They will use IMEI to find the owner. If the owner report it stolen tmobile will black list the phone and you may not be able to use it anyway.

You're not the luckiest person ever. You're a dishonest person who's trying to keep something that's not theirs. Do what the person above me said and contact T-Mobile.

I am really surprised at all of the responses from people suggesting yuo should keep the phone or better yet, sell it to them! That is really the worst advice anyone can offer, what the hell are you guys thinking? It's dishonest and kind of sh..tty to suggest that they should keep the phone and hope the owner had insurance... if that's how you live your life, I am hope I don't live nearby you - - Karma my friends - the best thing to do would be to return the phone to any T MOBILE Store - what would you want them to do if it was your phone?

the poor soul who lost his/her galaxy s3 is probably pulling there hair and gouging there eyes out by now... so sad...
If I had found this phone, I would do everything in my power to get it back to its owner. When the owner finally gets reunited with the phone I doubt they would leave you walking empty handed however even if they do at least you know you have done a very amazing deed.
Who knows someday you may lose something and some generous soul will return your lost item to you. :angel:

Oh my feelings are hurt by all these strangers judging me online. Why don't you people believe me hehe
I think, I will just keep the phone on for a couple days and hopefully the owner will call

What the hell man, leave the phone in a T-Mobile store.
Sent from my SGH-I897 using xda premium

so if the phone still has a sim card and it works, just return the phone to tmobile and they will track the number and they could see who it belongs to!
do something great, people will do the same to you.

I agree with everyones (some) responses. I found a iPhone 4S with a pink case. I was able to get ahold of the owner (beautiful girl) and she cried and gave me so many thank yous. She offered $50 but i declined it. If i ever lose my baby (gs3) ...I would hope someone would do the same. Return the phone man..

My insurance was canceled....if I were to lose my phone I'd have to pay full price for a new one. I couldn't afford another Siii.
Return it to Tmo as has been suggested. To do anything less is theft.

If it was my phone, I would activate the mobile security app on the phone and track you down and then the police would arrest you for stealing my phone. But that's just me. By the way, mobile security comes free on most t mobile phones with the correct insurance. I wouldn't risk being labeled as a thief, even if you did somehow "find" it.

Before I buy this phone...

Hi everyone, this is my first time posting a new thread. Sorry if it doesn't go here or it's a repeat.
Tomorrow, I'm going to buy a new Galaxy Nexus off someone I just met. I am allowed to check the phone before I finish the deal. The question is, is there anything in particular I need to check before I make the deal? I'm with Rogers in Canada so I expect it to work with this service provider.

Make sure that it isn't a fake. Saw a video of a pretty convincing imposter recently. Check the water mark tags for water damage too.

Replacement phone T-Mobile? Refurbished?

My friend is on contract on T-Mobile he got the note 2 a month ago and he told ordered two replacement refurbished note 2's then he's done with T-Mobile he ain't sending it back or nothing just done paying it and keeping the phones. I told him he can get into trouble for that he can right?? Or does it just mess up his credit? He did it three years ago and nothing happened besides probably bad credit now.
I know a lot of people on Craigslist be getting new phones without battery and back piece and I once bought one and it wouldn't read my Sim card because he never paid it I'm guessing.

The phone will black listed, side note I exchange phones a bunch due to defects or little things Tmobile is becoming much more strict about what they will exchange abs are now charging $5-$20 to process exchanges I wouldn't be surprised if a bill is coming his way soon

They may bill for a full cost of a replacement phone. I used to work for a t-mobile dealer LONG time ago (9 years ago) and they did the same thing. If we had a customer walk in, we process an exchange on their behalf. But we tell them if they don't send original phone back, they will be getting a large bill. And few people did. T-Mobile does work with them, and will take the charges out if you return the phone.

The phones will be blacklisted. If he sells them the new owner is screwed. Maybe he is Ok with that. If he is, find another friend as this guy proved himself to be a slime ball.

You ever see "bad esn" in an ebay auction description for a cell phone...that is what your buddy's phones will have. They can pretty much can be used as a wifi mini tablet, unless he is able to flash the phone to another gsm carrier. Regardless goes against his credit also.

Not true T-Mobile uses sim cards you can do what ever except. For warranty. I know a bit about this subject but the problem with things like this is once people start talking in a public forum than can screw everybody.

Again, not true. The phone WILL be blacklisted and won't work in the country unless you take it overseas maybe. How do I know? I deal with craigslist people and ebay listings for a meager living.

Phones will be blacklisted with Tmobile, Simple mobile and AT&T he will also be billed $600 for not returning the defective phone. The phones they send him will be factory refurbished which means it's just the phone there will be no battery, battery cover, Spen or charger.

If T-Mobile will send the police knocking if you don't pay?
Its probably the same as all of the pathetic dead beat people who think its OK to steal and don't think they should have to pay bills like the rest of us.
He'll have bad credit (which won't matter to him because he's apparently OK with stealing things anyway) and he'll get away with it for the most part while the rest of us law abiding citizens will continue to pay more for goods and services and more to cover for selfish people like this!!

What you're talking about is theft and fraud. You're not going to get any help on criminal activity from anyone here. Nobody is going to give you advice on how to avoid going to jail. In fact, simply talking about it could implicate you for aiding and abeting and now there is proof all over the internet. Good luck.

Absolutely not!!! If its blacklisted it is almost certainly considered stolen property. Plus youd be taking a device that will not work.

I could save up the 70 to buy a nexus 4 their about 150 & the note 2 is just a great device
Sent from my SGH-T999 using Tapatalk

Ok, but two things I dont think your fully appreciating....its blacklisted so it will soon not work on any network in the US. And its most likely stolen!
But its up to you. There's not much of anything the note2 has over an s3 anyway. Kinda sounds like you already have your mind made up, and just want reassurance maybe? Personally, I just think its an all around bad idea!
Sent from my SGH-T999 using Tapatalk

Yeah I get that it won't work on any service. I could easily get a nexus 4 8 gb for 150 . the note 2 would be like a big iPod I carry around
Sent from my SGH-T999 using Tapatalk

I'd still be against it due to the likelihood it's stolen. Have you thought about saving a little more, selling the S3, and use that as a down payment on a note3? Why carry two devices around when you could get everything in one?
Or if you wait you could prob find a similar deal where the note2 is not blacklisted. I've heard about some people doing an even swap since they're so close in performance and features. Like I said though it's your call in the end. You may get differing opinions from others, but I think most here would probably agree with me.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using Tapatalk

Okay, let's see if I have this right. You want to trade a perfectly fine phone (galaxy s3) for a phone that basically doesn't work (note 2) and use it as an iPod, then you want to buy an 8gb nexus 4 for $150?
Why don't you sell your s3 for $260 buy a 16gb nexus 4 for $200-$250, then buy an actual ipod with the $150 you were going to spend on an 8gb nexus 4. All of your devices will work and you'll have an actual iPod.
Its ultimately up to you, but a note 2 really isn't all that. Its an oversized s3 with a s-pen and better specs. I definitely wouldn't trade a working phone for well, a mini tablet. Oh...and its blacklisted, so there is the chance that is stolen, but like I said, its ultimately your decision.

In the very original Ad-post What did the Seller say ? Did he ever mention the word blacklist at all ? Or did he all along said IMEI Unknowm ? Or was it you that concluded based on Unknown IMEI that its blacklisted ?
Eitherway, he can still promptly report the NOTE's IMEI and report it stolen and then you would be at a loss. You have been already given sound Advice by Doc and Da Kine. If you are sorely tempted then Sell your Galaxy on Swappa and go get the Nexus. The S3 is a nice device. I wouldn't trade it for the Note 2. The Specs are not THAT better.
Having said all that, in all fairness, it might be possible the IMEI is lost from bad Flash and a NV Backup may just May Restore it. Would you want to take that chance ? If its not going to be restored, it will be truly an ipod. You could however sell or donate the Note 2 in that case to some Developer here on XDA that will immensely benefit from it. The community will get better more stable code in return.
Think about it. Don't rush to a conclusion due to a chance to get rid of your S3. I bet even Bestbuy will give $70 for a working S3.

Oh so you have already made the trade ? Oh well.
In order to restore the IMEI, first step is to use Root66 Rom and flash it via PC based ODIN and then return the phone to complete stock. Quick search here on XDA under Note 2's forum will help.
If you own this Note 2 now and need help, I suggest posting that device's thread since it is no longer a S3 related question.

The tools we use for the S3 don't work for the Note2. So you'll have to check in their forum for any fixes. Don't expect to get very far very quick though. We are not allowed to post or discuss this information publicly here as it's against forum rules. Too many people seek it out to use with criminal or malicious intent. (I wouldn't expect anyone to be very forthcoming with this info since you don't actually need it yet).
That said, I'm sure there is a fix, I just don't know where or how for anything but the US GS3's. And if you can't find how to do so yourself, you'll end up paying more money to send it to a shop that can fix it.
Imo, this is going to be more trouble and more of a risk than it's worth. As mentioned above, if it isn't blacklisted now, it doesn't mean they won't report it stolen a month from now. This sort of thing happens all too often unfortunately.... it's why most of us never recommend buying used unless it's from a trusted source.
