  Probably more likely that the ebay seller stole the phone in the first place isin't it? Then its been reported stolen by its real owner.. Either way you've been ripped off. Hope you get your money back..

  "From Mobile Today
  
  Police have opened up the national mobile phone register to the public, enabling dealers and traders to check if second-hand phones have been reported lost, stolen or IMEI blocked.
  
  Dealers have been calling for access to the operators' IMEI register ever since the Immobilise campaign began, in the hope that it might simplify dealing with returned and second-hand devices.
  
  The database, Checkmend, gives the industry easy access to the police's register of IMEI-blocked or stolen handsets. It effectively eliminates the problem of dealers and traders being caught unaware buying stolen or IMEI-blocked stock.
  
  The service can be accessed online via the Immobilise website or through www.checkmend.org. Single handset checks currently cost £1.50, but the National Mobile Phone Crime Unit (NMPCU) said there are 'significant discounts' and a subscription service for bulk traders who want to check large volumes of handsets. 'We're down to a few pence per check at that level [100s of handsets]' said Adrian Portlock, MD of Recipero, the company that manages the Immobilise and Checkmend databases.
  
  Currently, Checkmend uses information on the 13 million handsets registered with Immobilise. Within the next few months it will be expanded to include the entire Central Equipment Identity Register, adding millions of additional IMEI numbers to the database.
  
  When an IMEI number is input, the database returns either a 'red' or a 'green' response. A red response means the handset has been reported lost or stolen or has been blocked by the network.
  
  Each IMEI will be issued with a unique validation code, certifying that it has been checked against the register. The NMPCU is currently in discussion with trading sites such as eBay about incorporating the codes into their systems. Validation codes can be checked free of charge."

  
  
  thanks, massive info, you mentioned it could be checked for £1.50 but on their website it say £2.99??
  
  any ways looking to get this checked for free/

  
  
  If you were talking about a £15 Nokia phone, I could understand why you would be so hesitant to pay £2.99, but you have created a thread to save £3 on a phone worth hundreds. Hmm......I think we need the ebay item number please :)

  If the info is useful then its a good reminder, i was thinking about something like this last week, if there is a site where you an check if your phone is stolen, sort of a mobile hpi check. Everytime i go into cex im tempted to buy from the people trading in.

  [SIZE=2] Thats the imsi ([/SIZE][SIZE=2]International Mobile Subscriber Identity) number it checks the imsi is designated to the sim card and not the phone. Ie it is stored on the Subscriber Identity Module (sim card to you and I) so not related to the blocking of phones.[/SIZE]

  
  
  Sorry, clicked on the wrong link to copy!
  I meant this one http://www.numberingplans.com/?page=analysis&sub=imeinr
  Can't see how much it costs though...

  
  This one is free however it doesn't say if it's legit or stolen, only says "IMEI Validity Assessment - Very likely" (don't know what it means).
