IMEI lookup through serial number

Hello
I'm wondering if there is a way to find out an IMEI number of a particular iPhone 4 ,knowing only its serial number.
Background, iPhone was sold on an auction.
Guy claims he got a fake one, and returned it back, post company says that i was sending exactly the same as i му got in return. and there is nothing i can do, I have serial number, but not IMEI number.
I need to know the IMEI number so I can white a claim and open a disput with a post service.
Does anyone know if this can be done?
Thanks

i suspect that the receiver is a scammer and he replaced it while was checking at the postal office
Once smb activates the phone, security service will trace it, but only if they have imei
if i send apple all the paperwork (receipt ...) that proves ive legally bought the phone, can apple provide such kind of information?

    Hello, I was wondering if you could convert the IMEI # into the serial number using letters and digits?

    No the imei from what I understand is a randomly given number. to get serial number you must have it. you can try supportprofile.apple.com and login.

  • Relocate Stolen Ipod touch through serial number....

    6 Months ago my Ipod Touch was stolen and I do not know the serial number. Because the person who stole it lied to the police and did not have my stolen Ipod on them, there was nothing the police could do to get it back. I recently noticed that ITunes shows the serial number of devices when they are plugged into iTunes. Well I am wondering if iTunes stores serial numbers of all Devices used through ITunes. If so, is there some way I can get the serial number to locate my stolen device? I don't remember if I registered the device through Apple or not. I usually do register all my devices.

    Check this article:

  • Can someone retrieve my imei by my serial number?

    You have just enabled millions of people to scam you or steal your identity by posting your serial number. Not a good idea to post personally identifiable information in a public forum.
    I asked the mods to hide your s/n, and I see they have. So you don't need to do anything further.
    If you cannot get your IMEI from your phone or from iTunes or from the original receipt or from the box it came in about your only options are to call your carrier or Apple.

  • HT4061 Imei find with serial number how?????

    Hi, my iphone has stolen today , the police told me that they can find it by imei number but i dont have it , i just got an serial number from apple id that is :iPhone 4  Serial number: 820493L4A4S  , please help to find imei urgent . thnx

    If you still have the original package, the IMEI is on the box. If not, and you did a sync with iTunes you can get the serial numer and IMEI from the iPhone backups.
    Devices tab
    Open iTunes.
    Open Preferences. (In Mac OS X, choose iTunes > Preferences. In Windows, choose Edit > Preferences.)
    Click the Devices tab.
    Position the mouse over a backup to display the serial number of the backed-up device. iPhone and cellular iPad models also display the IMEI/MEID and Cellular Data Number:

  • Could my iPod touch be located through serial number?

    Just recently, my iPod touch just suddenly disappeared, i could not be able to find it I do not know if I left in inside the car or I dropped it when I went down from the car, so the problem is that I could not locate it, the internet of it is not turned on, or anything. but for me if someone would find it and keep it as his or her's I hope I could report it as stolen or lost and once that serial number was activated I could know where it is.

    Not likely since Apple does not help

    No app on the iOS device is required.                           
    - If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod/iPhone/iPad on the iOS device in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected or cellular data is on and connected for, on a computer browser go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up or continue to show off-line.
    - You can also wipe/erase the iOS device and have the device play a sound via iCloud.
    iCloud: Erase your device
    iCloud: Use Lost Mode
    - If not shown, then you will have to use the old fashioned way, like if you lost a wallet or purse.
    - Change the passwords for all accounts used on the device and report to police and carrier if iPhone or cellular iPad. Report it here

    - There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the erase (it erases it) using it unless you had iOS 7 or later on the device. With iOS 7 or later, one has to enter the Apple ID and password to restore the device.

    is there a way to find previous owner with serial number on i pad? or do i need to bring it back to pawn america

    No you can not track the original owner via the serial number.

    Sorry - mistyped the URL. It is of course http://appleid.apple.com . They will want your name and your current email address. You must know what your email address is. In any case you are signed in here with an Apple ID - is that the same one? You would have to know the ID and password to post here.

    You can obtain the IMEI number through iTunes. Read here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4061
    Your carrier also has a record of your phone's IMEI number. Whether they will give you such is another story, but they do have it.

  • IMEI or Serial number of a stolen iphone..

    My iphone is stolen. I need to find the IMEI or the serial number to report it at police. Can i find this information in icloud??i didnt keep  iphone' s box.

    You can find them by doing the following:
    Launch iTunes on your computer.
    Hold down your Control key, then on the menu bar in iTunes click iTunes>About iTunes (Mac) or Help>About iTunes (PC).
    Any previously synced devices will scroll in a pop-up window; press the space bar to stop scrolling so you can write down the serial and IMEI numbers when they appear.
