when buying used cell phones...

What this guy said.

Bought a Blackberry Curve off some kid, got home to activate it only to find it was stolen. Kid gave me a bunch of BS, found out his name and address, he changed his tune.

The girl who owned it number was still in the phone, called it, but it was a cancelled account. Found her via facebook, told her I bought her stolen phone, and sent it back to her.
