Thank you very much. This is good info.
When we buy a used iphone, the seller shows a factory default iphone, is it safe to purchase it?
How do we know this iphone is not a stolen phone, did the steps to factory reset it?
I think checking the serial on website will be the safest during cod
Check first then only buy
If it’s stolen there will be an activation lock

If u follow Facebook groups, now thieves have a new cheating method
After ur phone is stolen they will go and find out ur other Apple ID linked devices and will send u an email / sms as if apple found ur phone and need u to key in ur Apple ID and password to retrieve it
Once u key in, it is keyed in for them and then they will change password from their side to release the stolen phone
https://thecoverage.my/news/scam-alert-ipho...-id-login-page/To beat that, u enable two step verification, Apple will send a code to ur other Apple ID devices when this is enabled when there’s a new sign in. Then thieves won’t get access even with ur password
