I would also say not to block the W950i partially becos of PK but also because you are then making a false statement to the Police (you have to report it stolen for it to get blocked as far as I know) which is an arrestable offence.

oooerrr .. that a bit of a bugger .. but then should I worry about that as it seems Topscooby has no problem with how he has treated me.
All I am asking is, if anyone here was in the same situation would they be happy to take the loss or would you kick up a fuss.
I think you all know the answer to that one.

But if I did as you suggest then by Topscoobys own PM that he sent me I would be partaking in an insurance fraud and would therefore be breaking the law by selling it on.
I couldn't have that on my conscience.
I could infact sell this to anyone on the forum and then just walk away from it saying its not my problem, the phone is part of an insurance scam and you will have to take it to the police .. who will probably take the phone away from you and you will be left with nothing at all.
I think thats just about how the PM from Topscooby went anyway.

I don`t buy for one minute that Topscooby bought this phone off Ebay and didn`t even turn it on to check that it was working OK?
Sounds VERY far fetched to me,unless you are a complete idiot.
The phone should have been checked for being blocked before it was even advertised on here by Topscooby,as when he places the advert on here he assumes responsibility for that phones condition/operation.
At the end of the day,sounds like it`s Topscooby that`s been stitched up,and Mike shouldn`t have to bare the brunt of it.
Just my thoughts.....................
Good luck Mike.

Cheers for that but I must say in Topscoobys defense that when he sent it the phone was working.
Normally how it works is that the seller on Ebay will wait until 6 weeks is up so that the buyer can no longer file a dispute to reclaim their money.
In that time the buyer has also usually left feedback as well so the seller is totally bulletproof in every respect unless the original buyer goes to the Police.

Just to chuck in my two pennies worth. If Mike had bought it on Ebay using Paypal, he could have claimed for an item not as described and done a chargeback. Why is it Mike's fault, as the buyer, that the phone has been blocked? It is not the person who sold it to him but the guy on Ebay who probably sold it knowing it was going to be blocked.
He ought to be refunded the amount of its worth surely? Just give his seller a chance to sort it out.
