Posting the serial here or anywhere else isn’t a good idea.

There are many more things you should be concerned about when buying a phone from a third party, other than it being fake. Many of these things will result in the device being totally unusable and you will have just purchased a brick. With any third party sale, make sure you have the option to return the device. If you don't then you need to purchase from a different location unless you are willing to take that risk.
