How to check if a used iPhone for sale has been stolen or not?

Hi All - can you please help how can I check whether a used iphone is stolen or not? I could not find exact answer by searching. It would be great to turn out before purchase.

A good rule of thumb would be to never buy a used phone unless you know the person who is selling and can return the phone to them personally for a full refund if you are having any issues.


You will save a lot of headaches by following these simple guidelines.
