When a claim is filed if the owner gets the phone back they are required to send it asurion since they have received a new phone. When the seller called sprint to remove the lost/stolen flag it was evident that fraud was taking place. The fraud dept is going to investigate the seller not you. I used to work in a corp Sprint store and saw this happen a couple times.
Exactly... and IF the phone was STOLEN, the carrier would not likely ask for it back in a situation like this anyway. If they DID ask for the phone back, it would be for evidence reasons and they would likely reward you for cooperation.
