Hello fellas, I recently have se'd with success an iPhone XS max (2000 dollars) on amazon eu
3 years old account with 0 refund.
They are sending me a replacement for my order, so basically I have 2 iPhone now, one paid.
I need your advice now for proceed.
I have some different ways in front of me.
1) I could double dip it, never arrived method (the first one was different item method) and ask for a money refund instead of another replacement.
2) I could just take the other telephone and refund it as a damaged item, or some other excuses. so basically I will get a free iPhone.
Now, my doubts.
Amazon actually have started to register the imei of the iPhones and they could block my imei so basically my telephone could become useless.
I am not sure they do it every time.
The paying method is the same of other refund in other accounts. So basically I don't want to risk for an investigation about my account,
mostly for they credit card but even for the data I changed recently when I bought this account.
So, what should I do?
the second iPhone is already shipped out and I will take it on Tuesday.

Well congratulations. I wouldn't double dip that especially considering the fact that they register the IMEIs. Honestly, my best suggestion would be that you get the other iPhone back to Apple in some way that you will get a refund. I would suggest selling it but then if it gets blacklisted then you scammed an individual which is heavily frowned upon.

what if I just go in an apple store with the device blocked? You think that's should be covered under warranty in some way?

never had a problem stealing apple. after 15000 dollars of social engineering it still works.
I am just concerned about the block of the imei.

I am just concerned about the block of the imei.

There Is a workaround by changing the IMEI number, yet still keep It assigned to the device It's dedicated to.

The first 8 digits of the IMEI number known as the TAC (Type Allocation Code), Is what Identifies the model & device manufacturer. When changing It, leave those digits as Is and spoof the rest. As such, the IMEI number will show up to It's corresponding device when activating.

Yes I would definitely like to know this as well. I have a huge market for phones locally where I am at. A lady just messaged me yesterday on Marketplace and said she had a Galaxy S8 Note (almost new) with bad IMEI for $100 and a Samsung Galaxy S9 for $125 with bad IMEI.. If I knew how to change those numbers and get them working I would be buying them LEFT AND RIGHT lol.. So if you could provide me with that info I would forever be in your debt good sir.

There's no simple way of explaining It, but there are a number of methods and tools- Flasher, Device ID Changer (that's failed me more so than not), BS-IMEI etc.

Some require rooting the device.
