Hi,
I was wondering if I purchase a "brand new" phone from ebay, if the phone was never activated, can I have tmobile to transfer the phone under my account and prevent people from open fraud/stolen claim later? What's the best way to avoid scammers? I heard some people sell the phone first then after 30 days they will report it as stolen but won't the insurance company notices that the phone has been used by someone else for over 30 days only to find the original owner to report it stolen 30 days later?
