I found a used 4S for cheap. Plugged in serial number on Apple Self Service and it showed that the "device has been replaced". Entered IMEI no and it shows as not blocked/stolen.
The phone is in use, running iOS 5.01 and baseband 04.08.11. Haven't had a chance to personally inspect the phone yet. If it helps, I plan to jailbreak the phone after I get it anyway ? can't live without SMS+, notification toggles etc.
I talked to the seller about its suspicious status and he acted innocent ? said it was a gift from his sister in USA (I'm from India). I don't buy that excuse, but it isn't a stolen phone either (or at least not blocked yet).
My question is, is the phone a ticking time bomb and possibly blocked in future? Should I meet the seller and inspect? Or not bother at all (if there is any risk involved).
