How did someone adopt my IMEI number and clone my iphone I literally watched a phone that no longer had service as far as making calls in or out. I could use the phone just for internet. One night while on the phone, a notification appeared and said phone activated. Also, MANY other factors over the last 2 years have occurred, which would take months to explain. It appears as though my credentials were adopted from that iPhone and is being utilized in a cloned phone. The fear is, what is this person/persons doing with my personal data including all my credentials, my small business info, and my EMEI/serial number that they appear to have adopted in creating a duplicate phone that appears to be me? also, a Chinese/Japanese keyboard was implemented onto my phone? also, you can hear phones pick up as though it’s a landline picking up when phone calls are placed. My life has been turned upside down and for lack of a better term, I would need to create a novel of all the occurrences that have happened with my phones.

Open the Settings app and do you see your Apple ID at the top?
