The model and other information is correct as you have found out. One thing to know and that is that Find My iPhone appears to be still ON on that iPhone. If that is the case then this phone most certainly is a stolen iPhone. If you purchase this iPhone then you may run the risk of not being able to Activate this iPhone. That Activation Lock will prevent the use of that iPhone. My recommendation is that you do NOT purchase or show any interest in the advertised iPhone.

Don't know how the seller gets the invoice and the box. You can ask the seller to reset the iPhone to factory settings and turn OFF Find My. Have the seller take screen shots showing the Serial Number and IMEI number. It still won't 100% prove anything. The bottom line is that if the deal appears too good to be true then it probably is.
