Hi,

Never really sold a mobile online, but have received a message asking for the serial/IMEI number so they can run background checks.

Would I be stupid to give it to them or is it perfectly normal?

Thanks
 
They want to check whether the phone has been reported lost / stolen and whether it currently has an iCloud account associated with it via Apple's website:

If your iCloud account is still linked to the handset when sold they will not be able to wipe the handset :).

I wouldn't worry about it!

No big deal, I just wondered.
 
He has MM access, his trust says he has sold stuff before.

He would have had access under the old rules.
 
I haven't sold anything before. I don't even know what MM stands for, but I'm guessing it's the For Sale section or somesuch?
( I only use OCUK for the Mobile Phones forum, I don't even look in the other ones.)
