How can I find out WHEN a specific iPhone was reported stolen?

I bought a storage unit at auction.  There was a brand new iphone 4S, among other items, in the locker.  Many had receipts with the owner's name so I know it wasn't a storage unit full of stolen merchandise.  I ran a check of the iphone through a website, imei.info, and it seemed to come up clean (Verizon locked).  The Ebay buyer backed out of the auction and now, days later, is claiming the phone is stolen.  I'm thinking the buyer for some unknown reason, is the one who reported it stolen, just recently, and is trying to scam me.  When I called Verizon, they confirmed that this phone was either lost or stolen but could not tell me when it was reported.
DOES ANYONE KNOW HOW I CAN FIND OUT THE DATE THE PHONE WAS REPORTED STOLEN, AND POSSIBLY WHO REPORTED IT STOLEN?
Many Thanks!!!
Anthony

Buyer fraud has become a problem on eBay.
I ran a check of the iphone through a website, imei.info, and it seemed to come up clean (Verizon locked). 
It probably would have been better to contact Verizon directly, but if you kept records of that research, use it to dispute the buyer's subsequent claim. Unfortunately, eBay buyers hold all the cards these days, and eBay's robots will simply order you to accept a return or face suspension of your account and seizure of your PayPal assets.
To dispute a SNAD may require that you obtain a court order to subpoena Verizon's record of the theft, which will entail an expense that will almost certainly exceed absorbing the loss.
Ebay is a buyer's paradise. For sellers, not so much.

    You can't. A movie's only available for rental if the copyright holder allows that; nobody except for them and Apple would know when or if a specific movie will be.

  • How can i find out when the Creative Cloud be available in my country?

    how can i find out when the Creative Cloud be available in my country?

    This information is not available. We are working to add more countries, the newest being South Africa which will be added by the end of November. We are working to make this process more transparent. I understand how frustrating it is to not know if and/or when the Creative Cloud will be available in your country.

  • How can I find out when was a particular table last updated?

    How can I find out when was a particular table last updated? I need to find out the usage of this table - when was it last updated, etc. Thanks in advance. The version I am using is Oracle 9i.

    If you don't have any application level logging, and auditing is not enabled, there's not much hope.
    You could, if you have archive logs available, go trawling through archive logs via logminer, but that's likely to prove painful and not very fruitful, unless you're very meticulous and patient...

  • How can I find out when 1.9 is coming to my area

    I live in 90266 in CA. How can I find out when 1.9 is going to be released in my area?

    VZ does not publish the upgrade schedule.  I think messages are sent to the STB a day or two before the upgrade occurs but that is it.  I understand some information may be put on dslreports about the ugprades pending.
    Being a community leader I don't even have access to the upgrade schedule.  This is kept close to the folks within VZ. I can say that the east coast upgrades are put on hold while VZ CWA workers are striking.

  • How can i find out what country my computer was purchased?

    I got my computer as a gift and the gifter is no longer available. I called the HP Americas support center, but because my notebook was bought outside of the Americas they can't tell me anything about my computer, including what country was sold even with my serial number or if it is in warranty. Therefore, Customer Support can't direct me to the right service desk. All the know is that they can't help me. I have a Pavilion M6 1051xx.
    Short of going to every country customer support website, I'm stuck. How can I find out what country was sold, so that I can get hardware support?

    xx at the end is not a valid model number and those two letters give us some clue as to which market the laptop was sold in. It should be dv or ea or something like that. 

  • How can I find out when my machine (or any Mac) was made?

    I thought there was a place where you put your serial number in and was able to fin out when the manufacture date was.

    Welcome to the Apple discussions
    You can enter your serial number at http://support.apple.com/specs/#powerbook and it will tell you what specific model Powerbook you have, so at least you can bracket the build date between models. If you have an active Applecare agreement on a system, there may be more detail, however, I think most Applecare's have expired on Powerbooks. Otherwise, I'm not aware of anyplace you can find the build date of your system.

  • Without opening the package. How can I find out when this ink expires?

    Can I use the code on the packaging to find out when this ink expires? I do not want to open it.
    Thanks. I appreciate your help!
    This question was solved.

    These ink cartridges don't have Expiry dates, so they don't have to be used up before a certain time. They do have a warranty ends date, which is lasermarked onto the cartridge body.
    Hope this helps...

  • HT201364 I'm not certain if my Mac Pro was made in early 2008. How can I find out when it was made?

    Like many video editors, I am eager to upgrade to the new FCP 10.1, but I'm not sure if my Mac Pro can run Mavericks (a requirement for the FCP 10.1 upgrade). The Apple page states that Mac Pro's made in "Early 2008" should be okay, but how can I tell before diving into the upgrade? I can't afford to buy a new Mac Pro right now.
    Thanks in advance for any help!

    Thanks for the assistance! Turns out my venerable Mac Pro was manufactured in 2007, so Mavericks (and FCP 10.1) will have to wait until I buy a newer system.
    All the best,

  • By mistake I have changed the password using iChain but the website still utilises the old password that iChain originally created. How can I find out the original password that was created?

    I created a password using iChain whilst on a website where I have an account. For some reason, I needed to change the password and it seems that the website can only be accessed using the original chain password. I do not have a record of it and it is not in my iChain password list. Can I find what historical passwords were used?

    i am also have the same thing how can i get they out from my game center ?
