IMEI Mix up

[raggers]

hi,

I bought a Vario II from ebay about 4 weeks ago. Last Sunday my phone was barred and i was unable to make or receive calls or texts. Has this happened to anyone, is it a phone problem? If not i then wrote to the guy as you would and he said my wife will check the IMEI's shes a phone fraud expert (he sounds quite genuine) I gave him the IMEI from the back of the phone and when i checked the IMEI usin *#06# it was different. Could i have caused this problwem messing with the phone? (Since i recieved it i installed Schaps newest rom and Hardspl etc. Before i take it further is it my fault? Anyone experienced this? Thanks xx

Ive tried a Hard Reset aswell and it didnt work :|

very unlikely or extremely difficult (and illegal), so its pretty certain you haven't done it unwittingly.

sorry to be negative but it sounds like maybe the tytn housing is from another tytn etc.
it would seem the phone was lost, stolen or such and the housing changed, and it's blocked now because it has been reported. but maybe i'm being pessimistic.

and it sound's like he's lying if he said his wife's a phone fraud expert. check his feedback? what's his ebay id? did you pay by paypal?
