Not sure if they check it or not when doing a claim. I think they would just for cases like this. There is a reason it's a dirty IMEI..
The imei is also printed I thought...
No offense but I'm not up for ripping the companies off.
If it is a blocked imei it's because it's been returned before or reported stolen. In each case I'm against destroying it but I do feel it should just be treated as a tablet or you should find a way to unlock it without more stealing....
I'm sorry if you got ripped off but this is part of what you check for when buying a phone....
If I buy a car with a stolen vin I lose the entire car.

I sent my bricked original note into Samsung for service. It came back repaired with the same imei. There's nothing you can do.
We do not do fraud here. Take that business elsewhere, and NOT on XDA.
