IPhone 5 bought from someone on gumtree. He wants the serial number. What if he blocks the phone?

Today I bought an iPhone 5 from a seller on gumtree.  He has text me asking for the serial number for the phone. I'm worried he is going to block the phone. What can I do?

This was his message
"Sorry to trouble you. I'm the guy that sold you the iPhone this morning. I need to ask a small favour! Can I get the serial number of the iPhone? The reason I ask is the other iPhone I sold to a guy on ebay and he's giving me a headache and think he trying to con me out of some money so need to check both phones out. Thanks"

    All of your "Stuff" should be on your computer.  Just sync it to the ipad.

  • If I bought my iPhone in America from an Apple Store and have the receipt can I return it to a Japanese Apple store?

    If I bought my iPhone in America from an Apple Store and have the receipt can I return it to a Japanese Apple store? Yes it is within 30 days, I bought it July 21st, meaning it is within 15 days, as well.

    I would doubt it, but there's nobody here who can speak on behalf of Apple.  Phone the Japanese store: they will know far better than us fellow users.

    Can I still use the phone in Boston when I move there?
    Only on a supported GSM carrier.
    Will there be networks I cant use?
    Yes. CDMA networks.
    As I understand it the 4S supports GSM and CDMA networks worldwide.
    No, you've misunderstood. The GSM iPhone you can buy in Ireland supports GSM networks only i.e. AT&T

    That's because the Mac, OS X and the iLife apps that came preinstalled on the Mac all belong to the previous owner. The previous owner needs to call Apple care and have their Apple ID disassociated from the Mac. Then the hard drive needs to be totally erased and OS X and the iLife apps reinstalled using OS X Recovery.

    You can't. FaceTime is banned where you purchased your phone & permanently removed from your phone. There is no way to add it back.

  • Iphone 4 bought from apple uk and using it on vodafone india

    Hi Apple Uk team
    I bought a Iphone 4 from Apple UK - via a website shopyourworld.com - which ships the phones to India from Apple UK.
    I received the phone and have set it up with my Indian SIM - mobile no. (removed for security) , however the phone says that "Restriced network - Your selected cellular network is restricted. You can choose different network in settings" and also says " Waiting activation"
    I was using a iphone 3gs on Vodafone India earlier and everything is fine about the SIM I am using.
    Infact on this Iphone 4 , I am able to browse the Edge network and check mails etc, but I cant make phone calls ( it shows Zero Signals on Vodafone India network) or send smses.
    Can you please help me on how to sort this issue out , the phones IMEI Number is (removed for security)
    Let me know if I can help you with anything else ?
    thanks

    Im assuming that you have cut down your sim to a micro sim. If you cut any areas of the metal contact that may cause some abstraction or damage, making the iPhone not able to fully function. Make sure that the metal area of the micro sim card is not damaged. If not, connect the iPhone to your computer and open iTunes to activate the iPhone. If it is unlocked it would ask you to register the iPhone and you will see the home screen on the iPhone. IF THIS DOES NOT WORK YOU MAY HAVE DAMAGED THE CONTACTS OF THE SIM CARD RESULTING IN THE IPHONE NOT BEING ABLE TO FUNCTION CORRECTLY.
