They took my phone and told me it was evidence against the person I bought it from. I asked them how do I get my money back and their answer was. "you should not buy phones off ebay or craigslist"

So I guess im out my money and they might even call me as a witness. So looks like im going to best buy and getting another diamond by paying the $700 bucks. Because I dont want to use sprint and dont want a contract.

So the moral of this story is no matter how good of deal you think your getting from somone on ebay or craigs list it will come back and bite you in the ***.

Oh and I just got off the phone with my company attorney because they were saying its illeagle to clone esn's and he told me if the phone your cloning is yours and the phone your cloning too is yours it is not illeagle. He sent me a link to download the digital mil copyright act and there is 50 pages just about cell phones covered in it.
hey can you forward me that link. i work in wireless thanks
