I was considering ordering a new phone from Argos and sealed boxing it by putting in the blacklisted phone.

Have you pursued the SE?

Sorry I forgot to update this.

Yes I did.
Argos delivered the phone the day after, the seals on the phone were a bit funky looking anyway, I opened the seal with a hair dryer and got it very hot, replaced phone with blacklisted one and it got picked up the same day.

The refund is now in my bank account and I have not heard anything from Argos, so I would mark this as a successful SE.

I have reported my bank card as lost in case they try to recharge it, I’m not sure if it helps against that but just a precaution.
