I purchased the phone on Facebook, i even went to the seller's house, checked it out first, then paid. All was well for 2 days and then the phone no service. I have conversation included the name of the person and address, would this protect me from my phone being blacklisted  Alternatively as the seller live far from me and block me from Facebook, if I go pay to EE all money left on this person and remove the blacklist, I guess that person is reported as stolen and she paid it and get money and this not right for me and EE. 

saler name :xxxxxxx xxxxxxx xxxxx

address xxxxxxx xxxx xxx

door no:x

best whises

@abedali : This is a common fraud where sellers sell a phone under contract & then stop paying EE for it. EE will only un-blacklist it for the original owner, not you.

@abedali   It’s not right for you.  The seller probably has insurance and made a claim on that insurance.  Your only option is to report this to the police as it is fraud. 

To contact EE Customer Services dial 150 From your EE mobile or 0800 956 6000 from any other phone.

EE is probably already chasing the seller for what they owe. The fraud was upon you.

Hi @abedali,

 

Welcome to the EE Community.

 

Sorry, our Customer Care Team won't be able to discuss the original owners account with you for data protection reasons.

 

If you are unable to contact the original owner and the phone has been blacklisted, please report it to the police.

Try calling CS on +44 800 956 6000 (option 2 > option 4) . That won't ask for an EE mobile no.
