I got one in today and it is definitely a scam. I'm afraid to activate because it came from Sprint(asurion) with a return auth label. The packing slip lists the customer's mobile number on it but has my shipping address. There was no answer when I called the customer.

I now believe that the person selling these has access to a database he shouldn't--containing customers with Diamond phones and insurance. He's paying $50 a piece for 'lost/damaged' replacements to be sent, and the insurance claim form tells him that Asurion only has new phones in stock, no refurbs.

Buyers likely will have no problems activating but then after Sprint investigates and shuts down this scammer, every phone will be deactivated as stolen. I can't believe that Asurion has no controls in place to prevent this--I mean at minimum the original customer's bad/"lost" phone should be turned off prior to sending out a replacement, or within <x> number of days if the bad phone isn't sent back.
