Anyone buying the phone at a below market price, pretending not to notice the other sprint customer's telephone # on the asurion packing slip, etc is asking to have the phone eventually deactivated by Sprint. Buyers who either know this at the time of sale or learn of it when opening the box are in possession of stolen property, even though it's the ebay seller dmilton that is committing the theft by deception. Sadly I haven't seen any ebay sellers feedback list 'warning-fraudulently obtaining phones from sprint/asurion as insurance replacements'.
Sprint has the right to turn off every asurion obtained phone and demand them back with no compensation at any time. Clean ESN just menas it wasn't reported as stolen/fraud at the *time* the rep checked or activated it.
Sprint is definitely playing a blind eye to all this, apparently victim of their own size (a smaller company would have an executive on the phone seconds after someone calls and offers to save them from a scam currently occuring that's costing them millions of $$ a year, and if they were burned once they wouldn't allow themselves to be subject to a similar scam a year later).
Ebay sellers of new diamonds so far below market price seem to be in two categories: 1) next day shipping: those scamming asurion/sprint and drop shipping to their buyers directly 2) slower shipping: those scamming asurion/sprint and having them shipped to them first, allowing them to reship to the buyers without the pesky insurance fraud signs (asurion packing slip).
