The first thing to do is to establish a contact as personal as possible with a seller, if possible contact with buyers of our city to stay with him and thus see and test the article, making sure that it meets all the requirements that the ad describes before To pay the agreed economic amount.
If this is not the case, we run the risk of receiving an object under much worse conditions than those agreed upon or directly failing to receive it.
If so, we will face a scam, which is denounceable.
Also the following must be taken into account:
Suspecting the "chollos", if they offer a high-end phone for sale, at a very cheap price, it must be assumed that it could be stolen, damaged or falsified
When buying a mobile phone to a private individual, you have to ask the seller for details, characteristics, brand, if they are limited to a specific or released operator, model and IMEI of the requested phone.
Make payment securely, by bank transfer, with limited prepaid card or through payment mediation platform, PayPal.
The purchase of telephony to private sellers, from foreign countries, carries a greater risk of fraud.
And if a private individual purchases one or more mobile phones, in order to resell them later and without taking the necessary precautions, they could incur a crime of receipt, if these are of illicit origin, from thefts or thefts.
Hence the importance of having identified the seller and the IMEI code of the purchased phones.
